High End Commercial PrintersJoined a great company with fantastic repro and print facilities producing work to an exceptional standard. Managed production in both lithographic and digital print, ensured schedules were achieved and standards maintained. Always kept sales team informed on progress. Organised purchasing of materials and briefed external suppliers to help manage our clients’ high expectations. The company produced work for major corporate companies which included high end brochures for a Top London Premier League football Club and Formula One Racing Team, both requiring time critical deadlines. This work included the following processes: laser cutting, foiling, binding, and holographic procedures.Unfortunately, in 2017 the company relocated to Heathrow as the lease on their Central London premises could not be renewed. Whilst the company supported my journey of over 5 hours per day, but after 6 months, we mutually came to the decision that this was no longer viable.

I found the print quality lacking in sharpness and definition and having tried to encourage improvements, but the company was geared up to producing work for a large client and all other clients projects were neglected and ran late due to this policy.
