Bluetree group

Uckfield-headquartered commercial printer Pureprint has appointed Derek Kenney, formerly of Bluetree Group’s Kingsbury Press, in a brand new role as the group’s brand development director.

Route 1 Print, the trade wing of Bluetree Group, has overhauled its wide-format department with a raft of kit from EFI.

Bluetree Group has decided to switch the remit of Kingsbury Press from bespoke books and high-end brochures to standardised products, in a shock move that will result in a number of job losses.

Bluetree Group has invested nearly £2m in the UK’s first Muller Martini Prinova Digital stitching lines – and its new Landa press will also be the country’s first S11P model.

Bluetree Group has ordered a second B1 Landa S10P press to support activity at its Route 1 Print and Kingsbury Press subsidiaries.
