The deal is also a boon for UK printers, as HH will bring the printing of the brochure back to the UK after years on the continent.

We were initially very sceptical about transferring the business to a print management company, said a Brittany Ferries spokesperson, but the cost savings and professional service HH demonstrated made a difficult decision easy.

Sutton-based HH now expects its turnover to reach more than 25m.

The firm has also gained ISO 9001 quality management certification.

HHs client list includes Carphone Warehouse, Thomson Holidays, The Labour Party and Royal Mail.
