One of Konica Minolta’s longest serving team members, Account Manager Pamela Barnard, has marked 25 years with the business.
Barnard joined Minolta in July 2001 as a Product Trainer, supporting dealers across the UK with sales training, product demonstrations and exhibitions. Her early years coincided with the merger of Konica and Minolta in 2004, she adapted quickly, moving into an Area Account Manager role and taking responsibility for her own portfolio of resellers.
Over her 25 years, Barnard has seen the Konica Minolta partner programme evolve significantly – from traditional dealer support to a modern, consultative model centred on the company’s comprehensive Client Engagement Centre (CEC) and enhanced training. She has supported partners through their acquisitions, restructures and major market shifts – many of whom she still works with today. Reflecting on her milestone, she said: “I still genuinely love being part of the Konica Minolta team and I am fortunate to have always found a place here. But we must all continue to adapt – nothing stays the same.”
