Company support for office machine (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

copier

'office machine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'company support' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'support' becomes 'pier' (pier is a kind of support).
'co'+'pier'='COPIER'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for copier that I've seen before include "Something that duplicates" , "Office machine" , "Machine for reproducing something" , "Reproducer" , "unoriginal type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
