A brief history…
Belmonte’s journey began in 1974 on Claremont Road, Moss Side, Manchester, initially refurbishing typewriters to accommodate the growing number of students at Manchester Universities in need of affordable thesis solutions. Typewriters back then were fairly basic and lacked personality, so we decided to brighten them up with vibrant metallic shades such as gold, yellow, orange, and blue, making this transformation a resounding success.
Des, who was a typewriter engineer, operated across Manchester, mainly within law firms and at the Daily Mirror offices. In 1977, the business moved to Gorton and evolving with the times began repairing, servicing, and refurbishing electronic typewriters, especially IBM and Canon models. The IBM ‘Golfball’ typewriter was ground-breaking at the time and featured a sphere instead of the conventional type bar ‘qwerty’ keyboard. Providing exceptional service was vital for maintaining these machines and prolonging their lifespan. During this time, we also became an official Canon Main Dealer, concentrating on supply and refurbishment of office equipment.
In 1987, we relocated to Stockport to accommodate our growing needs, expanding our product range to include copiers, fax machines, printers, and multi-function printers (MFPs). With a team of specialised engineers, we started to extend our services throughout the UK. Refurbishment and recycling have always been central to Belmonte’s values, and we further diversified our product range by becoming an Official HP Business Partner, venturing into the large format sector.
We supplied and installed HP Technical and Graphical printers, primarily for architects and CAD designers, alongside Signage providers for posters, banners, and Graphics. Since moving to our larger facility in Stockport in 2010, we have proudly established ourselves as the leading refurbishment centre for HP Latex Printers in the UK.
Thankfully our longevity speaks for itself.

Great Company to deal with from initial contact right through to installation of my new printer. Special shout out to Des and Neil for all their help. I Would highly recommend Belmonte Business Equipment Ltd.
Purchasing our HP Latex printer from Belmonte Business Equipment was a great experience from start to finish. The installation process was seamless and well-organised. Their engineer Andy was punctual, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable, making sure everything was set up before he left. Since the purchase, their after-sales support has been just as impressive. Any questions we’ve had have been answered promptly, and their ongoing support gives us real peace of mind. It’s clear they care about building long-term relationships rather than just making a sale, Thanks Des
Had the pleasure of dealing with Des, Stephanie and Steve (engineer) at Belmonte over the last couple of weeks. We were in the market for a wide plotter and their name popped up, from minute one we cannot fault their commitment to customer service. We had a few issues and they were sorted promptly, fairly & above all with our satisfaction in mind, now we are all over the moon with our new cutter & can move forward as a business. Well done to you all & Thanks from all @ TeamFugo
Belmonte were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. It was time to upgrade from a old Mimaki JV33 and in my search came across HP Latex printers at Belmonte. Des gave me a call and answered a few questions I had on print media, maintenance and inks. He then went away and collated a quote for a couple of printer options. We went with a HP L360. Finance agreement was quickly sorted and signed and a week later delivery was arranged of our machine. Engineer turned up on the day specified and had all the gear with him needed to setup on the space we had allocated. After a quick rundown of the machines operation process and installation of rip software we were up and running. Looking to lease a Summa cutter in the future and I'm sure we'll be back to Belmonte. Cheers guys 🤘
I recently received the HP L330 printer and surprised to find it in such excellent condition. It functions and looks nearly brand new. Throughout our many discussions as I was deciding whether or not to purchase this equipment, Des Robertshaw was outstanding and helped me with every piece of information. Because of Belmonte Business Equipment's professionalism, technical expertise, and—above all—their immaculate machines, I highly recommend them.
We recently ordered a fully refurbished and HP 365 LATEX Wide format printer and an associated Mimaki Cutter machine. The service from Belmonte has been outstanding with their install service also providing training on the new equipment. Where we had a small issue with a switch on the new kit - this was replaced by a separate visit the following day. Outstanding customer service belmonte and we look forward to a long engagement in our use of the equipment and the restocking of inks, maint cartridges etc. Many thanks indeed. The 5C Consulting Team.
Superb from start to finish, great service, knowledge, equipment, delivery and installation. Will be a client for many years to come. Engineer Andy actually gets a 6th star too!
We’ve now had multiple wide-format printers from Belmonte, and they’ve been nothing short of incredible! The team is amazingly helpful, friendly, and always goes out of their way to make everything as simple and straightforward as possible. Special shoutout to Des, who is a superstar in sales, and Steph, who is always so lovely and on the ball. They make what could be a complex process an absolute breeze. Top-notch products and service from genuinely great people – we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended! Jonny - Design and Production Director at LINK
