“I started this company in an old Nissan hut on Raleigh Hall Industrial Estate, with just two members of staff. It has developed and expanded over the years to now occupy two industrial units, still steadfast in the prime location of Raleigh Hall, in Eccleshall.
Our aim has always been to deliver an outstanding service and we pride ourselves on being reliable, honest and easy to deal with.
“People come for the price, but stay for the Quality and Service”
Never blasé, we appreciate that you have a choice, and every order is as important to us as the next. Our customers return to us again and again, in the knowledge that their orders will be dealt with quickly and efficiently every time. This makes me very proud of the business and the staff that work so hard to make this business the success that it is.
Give us a try and you will experience first-hand: reliability, consistency, accuracy, and work of the highest standard. You will not be disappointed.”
Ian Douglass, Managing Director
Ian has been in the printing industry for all of his working life, and started the business from his garden shed in 1974, 5 years after completing his Print Apprenticeship. Whilst he was building the business he continued to work for a number of top print houses in Staffordshire, expanding his knowledge and gaining valuable experience in all aspects of print. Including four colour and colour sensitive work.
In 1979, he bravely made the decision to work for himself full-time. And, 43 years on, he will still tell you that it was one of the best decisions he has ever made, and has never looked back or regretted a moment of it.
Ian no longer works on the printing presses, but is still on hand to troubleshoot and give advice if needed, to ensure the highest quality is maintained across the business.
