About Us....

WHAT began as a backward-looking printing facility serving British Rail in West Offices, Station Road, York, has now flourished into DocQwise – one of the fastest-growing and most successful privately-owned document service organisations in the North of England.
Now Danish Jan Eskildsen, the man who four years ago acquired the business on the back of a management buy-in after coming to Britain to work for photocopying giant Xerox, has entered the Small Business of the Year and Progress Through People categories as a way of achieving recognition for the hard efforts of his growing staff.
Where there were nine people working for a business “entrenched in the past”, said Mr Eskildsen, there are now 22 employees in a forward-looking enterprise.
About £500,000 has been invested in new technology to help DocQwise become a sophisticated national, concept-to-completion document management and supply company, offering a range of document and digital print-related services from print-on-demand from electronic files or hard copies, to conversion from hard copies to CD Rom. It also offers distribution from its own mailroom and security shredding and an extensive 24-hour secure facility, assuring clients’ confidentiality.
But for all the technology, the big investment has been in staff, who need to adapt to the firm’s business-to-business services for companies from many industry sectors, including Railtrack, GNER, Jarvis, Arriva, Corus, KPMG, the International Fertiliser Society and Government bodies such as Learndirect, the Department for Work and Pensions, the DTI and the Employment Service.
As part of a policy of continuous improvement, staff are encouraged to develop themselves and their skills directly and indirectly to the needs of the company and clients.
One member of staff who three years ago had to be instructed on how to send an e-mail became a key IT operator within 12 months. He and other staff members now advise clients on IT and systems analysis matters.
