The Edinburgh-based business, which also has operations in Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Inverness and Shetland, said it had racked up a record monthly sales tally of £2.4m in September, including new business worth £639,000.

It is also targeting turnover of more than £30m by the end of 2016 and yesterday announced that it was looking to add a further 20 staff to its 205-strong headcount over the next 12 months to meet demand.

Managing director Tom Flockhart, who founded the company more than 30 years ago, said: “The company has benefited from a high level of major contract wins for some time now which reflects the strength and depth of our product range and our reputation for delivering a very high level of customer ­service and support.

“Our truly national sales and service cover and branch ­network across Scotland have enabled us to win many major public and commercial contracts and significantly grow our customer and machine base.”

Capital, which provides photocopiers, printers, scanners and software as well as maintenance and training support, said its contract wins spanned government bodies, local authorities, oil and gas companies, the voluntary sector and “a wide spread of universities, colleges and ­independent schools”.

Last year the firm acquired Inverness-based Highland Office Equipment.
