Our main business emphasis is in the manufacture of printed goods. The majority of our work spends little time with us, since it is dispatched to our clients on completion. We do have additional warehousing, circa 500 Pallet positions, if this is required. This naturally attracts costs on a pallet storage basis.

We place a lot of importance on this area and we use a combination of our own transport and courier services to meet demand. Each service enables us track back to signed delivery documents, we can also monitor the progress of deliveries via web links. As important is the need to ensure that the goods are packaged sufficiently well for protection in transit and are clearly labelled, for this reason we have a dedicated delivery team to support this.

If you would like to come and visit the site for a tour please contact us. We’re always happy to show off our pride and joy!
