Duncan Holdings, which shut down its web printing business in summer last year (having once been in the UK's top 100 printing companies) has seen its turnover fall from just under 30m to 8.2m, putting it at number 264. Conversely the company's operating performance has improved massively, with margins rising from 4.8% to 22.7%.
"Five of the top 20 groups in the UK are now either print managers or have significant print management interests," said PrintWeek editor in chief Jo Francis.
"But the most profitable businesses are rarely the largest and the new profitability rankings are an illuminating read."
