What’s having the greatest impact on your business at the moment?
Using the information and connections that our
Fespa membership has provided us.
Where do you see the greatest wide-format
opportunities?
In the art and design sector of the print industry –
opportunities lie in mixing media and processes to
create work that no single process can produce.
Imagery is a really important part of our lives –
it decorates our homes and sways our buying
impulses. Care in production can greatly enhance
an image – poor production can kill it.
What would make your day-to-day operations
easier?
Some of the products we use in production are
getting harder and harder to source. We currently
buy inks from the USA and France as the ranges
here in the UK have dwindled. A supplier that would
truly listen to our needs and stock these products
for our sector of the industry would certainly make
things easier.
Your favourite bit of kit is..?
I don’t have a favourite, but I love using our new
Canon flatbed in conjunction with our new Kippax
silkscreen parallel press.
What’s the best bit of business advice you’ve been
given?
The bill out – 1/3 with order, 1/3 on delivery, and 1/3
in 30 days.
What are you most proud of achieving?
Having the whole family involved in the business
and getting a young and imaginative team together,
that have worked to help us win a Fespa Gold
Award and Best of Show Award this year.
What lesson does the wide-format sector need to
learn?
Good question….
