Release Summary: Large format digital printing company, The Image
Group, announce that 2007 has been the best in their ten year history
Press
Release Body: Manchester-based large format digital printing company,
The Image Group, has confirmed that 2007 has been
the best year in their ten year history.
The
record performance was officially revealed at the launch of the
company’s biggest-ever free buyers’ guide.
With
35 staff, The Image
Group posted a turnover increase of more than 25% to
achieve more than £3 million over the year.
The
turnover increase also coincided with Image Group’s
move to new premises in Eccles; a newly revamped website and significant
capital investment in a new super-wide format Vutek QS 5
colour digital print machine and a new Zund cutter.
Amongst
the highlights of the year for The Image Group
was the successful installation of the largest vinyl print in the
company’s history which formed the centrepiece of the £31
million Chill Factore, which at 23,225 square metres is Europe’s
longest and widest real snow indoor ski slope venue. The 12-week
3,500 square metre installation presented many unique problems for
The Image Group and took six abseilers on 200 feet of rope plus
two cherry pickers to complete.
The
Image Group sales director Rick Jervis said, “The
printing game is as competitive as ever, which is why we’re
particularly proud of these latest figures. We have chosen to invest
heavily in new premises and the latest technology to ensure we stay
ahead of the game."
He
continued, “It’s a tactic, along with an obsessive
commitment to quality and customer service, which is clearly paying
dividends already. And if next year is as good as 2007 we’ll
be delighted.”
In
a year of records for the company, The Image Group
also managed to smash its in-house turnaround record by outputting,
printing and finishing 26 separate exhibition display items for
one order in less than ten working hours using the company's new
Vutek colour digital print machine. The nine 3m x 3m full-colour
pop up display
systems and three 2.4m Super-wide roller
banners and a further fifteen 1 metre wide roller banners were
delivered on time for London-based marketing communications agency
FK3.
Rick
adds, “There were some great highlights last year. And
we’ve featured as many as possible in the new buyers’
guide to inspire customers old and new. The New Year is traditionally
a time when companies evaluate printing requirements for the year.
We hope our one-stop buyers guide will become an indispensable companion
during that process.”
