Apple Finishing relocates to up capacity

Apple Finishing has relocated to a larger base to bring all of its operations under one roof.

The company moved to a 6,000sq ft unit on the same industrial estate, which is at Ilkeston, Derbyshire, near the Nottinghamshire border and the M1.

Managing director Nigel Moore said: "The new unit gives us the added ability to offer current clients and potential new customers an even better working environment and increased production capabilities.

"We wanted to accommodate larger runs for work, which includes brochures and, recently, a folded paper aeroplane for a marketing campaign. In our old base we had an external storage and not much office space, now it’s under one roof."

Moore’s 18-staff company makes £700,000 turnover from kit that includes two MBOs, a B30 and B123, a B2 Stahl folding machine and a CP Bourg BB3002 for short-run perfect binding.

"Since our launch in September 2009 we have been experiencing continued controlled growth investing in new machinery and employees to give a complete and comprehensive trade finishing service."
