Additionally, Andrew Morrison, managing director of Xerox UK and Ireland, provides his expertise on how customer experience can be transformed by the use of digital technology, improving customer satisfaction and increasing brand loyalty. Also, find how electrostatics can provide greater control on webs and materials.
