It is part of a strategy by the group to offer a wider range of services incorporating design and fulfilment. The services include design for marketing, sales campaigns, account management, direct mail, wide format, digital and litho print and fulfilment.

"We believe it will help us to achieve our target for growth, which includes expanding the network to 175 centres by the end of 2008," said Kall Kwik managing director Mike Hutter. "Existing and potential franchise owners will see greater prospects."

The group has developed strategic partnerships with Canon and Pitney Bowes, which will offer support for the Design to Delivery strategy.

Last year Kall Kwik followed up its corporate re-branding with a new interior for its 163 centres.
