"The addition of new presses throughout the country over the coming 12 months meant that we had to take a close look at our support structure," said managing director Malcolm Pendlebury.

As part of the expansion of the company's ProServ Supreme service contact package, one of four available, it will add an additional 16 engineers to its team of 40 in the coming months. "They will be added at geographical locations throughout the country for both sheetfed and web service operations," added Pendlebury.

Top end ProServ packages currently offer breakdown cover Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm, with a 24-hour weekday option. The Supreme package will now also run from 7pm Friday to 7am Monday.
