SME of the Year: Nationwide Print

21 October 2014

Awards xx

Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Cornwall is grabbing attention down in the West Country. The print company that recently added this signature restaurant to its roster of tasty blue-chip clients is grabbing attention way beyond.

Smallish and pretty much perfectly formed, St Austell-based Nationwide Print has bumped up turnover by 19% and increased gross profit by 24%. Proper yum. This year’s SME of Year is also one of the few printers in the country to power its presses with renewable energy, using solar panels to produce about 40% of its electricity, which has helped save over 16 tonnes of CO2 in the past year. Having entered the digital fray, two years of increasing output means it is considering a second digital press. Right now, Nationwide Print is eyeing up wide-format printing to ensure its output is as enticing as one of those scrummy Jamie Oliver dishes.

AJS Labels is new on the SME of the Year podium in 2014. In 2013 the company took a decision to open a second site in the North, largely to partner a new blue-chip customer, which slashed delivery times and guarantees contingency and capacity to its growing customer base. It has also added a flexo press to meet increasing demand from clients such as The Body Shop.
