Under this new partnership, CMYK will handle all IT related challenges for Taopix people both UK and Internationally based, covering all aspects of the group’s IT infrastructure and cybersecurity requirements. Taopix will also take advantage of CMYK’s specialist Mac in the Enterprise support offering, software licensing and procurement services.
Taopix was founded in 2007 specialising in developing software platforms for personalised photo products like photobooks, calendars, and gifts. Taopix solutions support web, macOS, Windows, iOS and android mobile operating systems, offering a customisable white-label user interface, 3D previews, AI tools, and flexible integration via API’s. Headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, Taopix serves a global market with clients such as Tesco Photo and Albumworks.
Adam Grieve, managing director at Taopix, commented; "We’ve been in the software development industry for over 18 years now, and we recently felt the need to re-strategise the business. In order to support our growth, as well as enhance recruitment and business connections going forward, we made the strategic decision to relocate our headquarters to the heart of Newcastle City Centre. CMYK has been an invaluable partner in achieving this goal. Their expertise enabled a seamless transition in a matter of weeks, and our team is already thriving in our new facilities.”
Adam added; “As part of this move, we've also embraced a flexible, hybrid approach to office hours, a transition that CMYK facilitated with remarkable ease. Our new home, Alderman Fenwick's House, is a beautifully refurbished boutique office space steeped in history, dating back to the 17th century. We are excited to begin this new chapter and establish Taopix's presence in this iconic building for years to come."
Craig Pratt, regional sales director at CMYK shared his excitement about the new partnership with Taopix; “We’re thrilled to welcome Taopix to the CMYK family and support the transition to their new HQ, whilst providing ongoing tech support to help enable their ambitious growth strategy. Our shared values, aligned principles, and strong synergies make our collaboration all the more special and it’s an absolute delight to work alongside the Taopix team. This announcement further signifies our momentum in supporting the North East’s tech sector, reinforces our commitment to demonstrating service excellence and highlights our industry expertise.”
Craig continued; "We’re proud to be chosen as Taopix’s IT partner and look forward to building a strong, successful, and long-term relationship. Special thanks to the CMYK integration and service delivery teams - this is another milestone in our growth across the region and showcases our team’s dedication and capability.”
Warren White, head of IT at Taopix, who was instrumental in the recent HQ relocation and lead on the IT partner evaluation and selection process, will also play a central role in managing the partnership moving forward. He shared his thoughts on the new collaboration; “At Taopix, embracing the technological advances that continually sweep our industry is essential and paramount to the success of our service delivery. We are committed to this path not only to advance and grow our own business but, crucially, as a continued effort to empower our customers in this fast-paced environment. Remaining at the forefront of technology is challenging, which is precisely why we are excited to partner with CMYK. We look forward to leveraging their deep industry knowledge and highly skilled team to drive further innovation.”
