Under the two-year contract, Flexeprint’s partner, The Sherwood Press in Nottingham, will print all of Stagecoach’s direct marketing material.

Flexeprint, also in Nottingham, will provide an online ordering platform for marketing material. Stagecoach, which is based in Walton-on-Thames, will use this to allow its franchisees to customise marketing items for local events.

Flexeprint sales director Andy Hood said: “We’re delighted with the deal – our first direct-mailing venture. Stagecoach previously outsourced printing to four different contractors, but we are able to handle it all.”

David Sprigg, Stagecoach’s joint managing director said: “We now have an innovative supply partner providing us with a service that saves time and money, eliminates mistakes, controls our brand and, most importantly, is convenient for our franchisees”

Flexeprint has a £1m turnover and out sources print to companies including Carlson Wagonhigh and Property Search Group.
