Allan Smith and Michael Jackson have almost 50 years of industry experience in the industry and launched the company two months ago.

Smith has worked as a print representative for print houses including Simpson Group and Image Data Group and decided to go it alone after he felt there was a gap in the market for print consulting rather than simply print buying and management. 

He said: "Many designers go direct to printers instead of using print management companies as some feel they focus too much on price without taking time to understand the needs of the project.

"As a consultancy we feel we can offer both, and we now go in and offer advice that has a much more personal service."

He said there has been a lot of interest in what the consultancy offers and it has plans to expand next year.

Jackson added: "We don't simply offer print material at the cheapest cost, we are a trusted resource as we understand the needs of marketeers and the design process.

We are offering a brand new concept to the industry."

The company covers the UK, predominantly operating across the Midlands, North East England and Scotland.
