Pre-press Company of the Year - Winner: Zebra

Who else? For an unprecedented fourth year in a row, the team from Zebra are back to pick up what is rapidly becoming 'their award'.

Not since Michael Schumacher has anyone dominated their profession so completely and it is little wonder, therefore, that the judges have all but run out of superlatives to describe what must be London’s most successful repro company. Unbelievable was the most common assessment of their accounts, but believe it or not, it’s true, the boys from London can boast a quite frankly breathtaking 29% pre-tax profit margin. But that’s not all, Zebra’s balance sheet has continued to go from strength to strength, with reported net assets in excess of £445,000, an 18% increase on last year. This time last year, we asked what the chances were of it achieving a quadruple of pre-press company of the year awards – this year we ask, is there anyone out there who can stop Zebra making it five from five?
