For over 35 years, Temple Knight has been helping UK businesses manage their print environments with reliability, transparency, and genuine care.
Founded by Richard Chapman in the late 1980s, Temple Knight began by selling and maintaining fax machines — the cutting-edge tech of their time. As technology evolved, so did we.
From laser printers and photocopiers to large-format plotters, scanners, and managed print solutions, we’ve grown with the industry — and often ahead of it.
Today, under the leadership of Managing Director Simon Chapman, Temple Knight is one of the UK’s longest-standing independent providers of managed print and office technology. Our clients range from small local businesses to national organisations — all trusting us to keep their operations running smoothly.
Because while technology moves fast, our principles haven’t changed: deliver real value, build lasting relationships, and always keep service personal.
To make print and office technology simple, sustainable, and stress-free for every business we work with. We believe good service means more than fixing a printer — it means helping our clients work smarter, cut waste, and stay productive every day.
To be the UK’s most trusted independent managed print and office technology partner — recognised for our integrity, innovation, and the genuine relationships we build with clients and suppliers alike.
We take the time to understand each client’s setup and challenges, then build a plan that fits their goals — not a one-size-fits-all package. From proactive monitoring to cost-neutral finance options, everything we do is designed to give your business control, clarity, and confidence in your print environment.
We’re a people-first business. Whether you’re a client, supplier, or member of the team — that matters to us.
Our clients depend on us to keep their operations moving. We never take that trust for granted.
We actively help businesses reduce their environmental impact through smarter, greener print solutions
From the first call to ongoing support, we take full ownership of our work.
We do what we say we’ll do. Everytime
