60 seconds with Kenads Printers

Kenads was started in the summer of 1982 by Ken Strudwick, the father of current managing director Ian Strudwick.

The firm started off supplying estate agents with document wallets. A £600 government enterprise investment proved to be a defining moment, and the company now offers a wide range of printing and finishing options. “To this day we are still a family run business with a reputation for quality work, first class customer service whilst always giving excellent value for money.”
