Mr Galvin said: “Don has been a part of the NBM team for over 10 years as a key account manager and has been a sales manager with us for the last three years.
“With the increase in our offering as Xerox Channel Partners, it was a natural decision to appoint him as sales director with responsibility for the 7-strong sales team located across our various offices in Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Portlaoise.
“I have every confidence in Don and the rest of the team to help keep the show on the road for NBM, especially in these tough times.”
Mr Galvin said that 2020 has been a challenging year for NBM, just as it has been challenging for every business. Nonetheless, he is optimistic about what 2021 holds for the business.

“2020 has been a year of learning for us and we were able to evaluate and adapt our business under the current climate,” said Michael Galvin. “We embraced new technologies and had to accelerate our learning, but it has proved to be beneficial for us and gives us brilliant scope to apply all of our learnings next year.
“This will help us to continue to grow in 2021and hopefully for another 35 years and beyond. We are also thrilled to be one of very few tech companies running for this many years,” he said. “Our existing long-service team have been a great support to our new recruits as we continue to invest and drive the business forward.”
Meanwhile, Mark McPhillips, managing director at Xerox, said: “Last year’s expansion in the Irish market further strengthened both Xerox and NBM’s ability to offer a high-touch, locally accessible model to support clients and grow both of our businesses, and we expect that this will only improve and continue to expand in the future, in spite of a challenging year.”
