Newcastle is fortunate to be home to businesses with long histories that continue to be family-run, like Di Prinzio Concreting, which has been in business for over 60 years. With a third generation Di Prinzio now working in the business, it’s clear this concreting business is set to have a prosperous future. Helping local businesses grow is at the forefront of our Sharp Office philosophy, and with our equally long history spanning over 50 years, we’re proud to partner with local business owners like Peter Di Prinzio to make managing their business’ technology and office products simpler. Working with Sascha Fischer for print, Peter and his team can depend on Sharp Office.
We recently sat down with Peter to learn more about his business, his experiences over the years and what it’s like working with Sascha and the team at Sharp Office.
A project that stands out
With hundreds of concreting projects under his belt, Peter has seen plenty of large-scale jobs throughout his career. But one project that stands out is his work on John Hunter Hospital in 1988. At the time, the hospital was undergoing major development of its main facility, and Peter’s business was fortunate enough to be involved. The project was a significant undertaking, taking around two years to complete, and remains one of the biggest projects the business has worked on.
Why supporting local matters
As a small business owner himself, Peter understands the importance of supporting other local businesses. “Small businesses are good at offering personal services for customers, which is a bit different to chain businesses,” he says. “By supporting local, we can all help keep small businesses open and strengthen our community.” For Peter, choosing to work with local businesses is about more than simply doing business; it’s about building relationships and contributing to a stronger local community.
A Sharp solution that keeps up with the business
More recently, Peter was introduced to the new Sharp BP70C31 by Sascha. The experience has been a positive one, with the new photocopier quickly proving its value in the day-to-day running of the business. “Sascha is fantastic. He listened to our needs and found a model that suited what we needed,” Peter says. The Sharp BP70C31 is now used for a wide range of documents, from plans and invoices to photos and project documents that site supervisors often need. Speed and reliability are particularly important when documents need to be printed quickly, and the new machine has certainly delivered. In fact, the team once decided to put its speed to the test: “One day we timed how quickly it printed a handful of documents, and it was faster than the time it took to walk to the printer!”
It’s not Peter’s first experience with the Sharp brand either. Having used Sharp products, including calculators, in the past, he already knew the brand for its quality and reliability. For a busy business, having equipment that simply works and a local team that takes the time to understand what’s needed can make all the difference.
