Company praised over free print work for cancer hospice

A Bradford-based printing company has saved its local Marie Curie hospice thousands of pounds by providing it with free print for more than 11 years.

Area fundraising manager for West Yorkshire Brian Curran, who manages the hospice's print, praised printer Spellman Walker as "a fine example of a company that takes its responsibility to its local community seriously".

The supplier is currently handling layout, design and production work for the launch of the charity's 5,000-run quarterly newsletter.

"The firm's support through designing and printing our marketing resources makes a huge difference to us as we are able to direct a lot more money into fundraising campaigns," said Curran.

"It has produced posters, leaflets and calendars for all occasions. The high-quality invitations and programmes Spellman prints for our corporate events have helped attract more supporters."

The charity struck up a relationship with the firm after its managing director, Nigel Risby, took part in the charity's first-ever Dublin Dash fundraising run.
