East Midlands Chamber has announced Derby-based DNS is to be a patron.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, DNS provides managed print, IT support, cyber security and communications services.
Founded in 1996, DNS has been a print partner of East Midlands Chamber for half a decade. DNS customers include Derby County Community Trust and Derby County Football Club, Trent Bridge, Nottingham Forest Football Club, Innes England and Hannells.
Becoming a patron of the Chamber will enable DNS to engage with the Chamber’s 4000 member businesses across the East Midlands and influence the shaping of policy when the Chamber meets with political leaders.
East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “DNS is well established both in its home city of Derby and the wider East Midlands, with an impressive client portfolio.
“As a longstanding member of the Chamber and a proven, reliable print partner that has delivered consistently excellent service for the Chamber across five years, I’m delighted DNS is now to be a patron.
“As DNS celebrates its 30th year, I look forward to closer collaboration which I’m confident will benefit the DNS growth story into the future and the Chamber’s membership.”
DNS Corporate Co-Founder & Director Martin Lenton said: “As we enter our 30th year, DNS is proud to have built strong relationships with businesses across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands.
“Becoming a patron of East Midlands Chamber is a natural next step for us and reflects our shared commitment to supporting businesses across the region.
“A key focus of our patronage will be giving Chamber members the opportunity to review their existing technology contracts across IT, managed print, cyber security and communications. We want to help businesses understand exactly what they are paying for, whether their contracts remain competitive and fit for purpose and where there may be unnecessary cost, risk or restrictive terms.
“Our role is to provide an informed second opinion. If the current contract is right, we’ll say so. If there is a better option, we’ll explain where and why.
“The DNS team and I look forward to working closely with Chamber members across the East Midlands.”
