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.

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
As always top service from Des and the team at Belmonte. Given our plotter was 20+ years old and finding consumables and spare parts was becoming near impossible it was about time we got new kit. We worked with Des on our requirements and a typical week for the in-house plotter and settled on the HP Z9+ as it would give us vivid graphics with the added bonus of the horizontal and vertical cutters which would save us a lot or manual cutting. Installation wasn't quite an easy one, as the old plotter needed to move down 7 floors, and the new one up but without the aid of a lift. With help from the engineer and our in-house porters we got it in position. The new machine had been configured and tested off-site so made the installation quick and easy. Highly recommend Belmonte and this HP Z9+
Des and everybody at Belmonte went above and beyond to help me get a fantastic printer when my old one died half way through an urgent job. Even when I turned up in the wrong size van we managed to work a way of getting it in so I could get it back. Would highly recommend, and when the time comes will definitely go back to them for my next purchase.
Absolute pleasure to deal with. Reccomend these guys every single time. 10/10
