was founded in 2002 to make the best quality design and print services
available to small businesses, voluntary and community groups and individuals who may have
previously found such quality beyond their means.

It developed from my experiences whilst working with voluntary and statutory organisations in the field
of mental health. My design skills were in demand to produce effective promotional literature for many
groups. It soon became obvious that there was a need for a low cost, high quality design service for
organisations which require printed material in small volumes.

The availability of design software and computer based printing equipment which doesn't require the
preparation of printing plates needed for older print technologies has made this a viable proposition.

Since our inception has produced promotional and other literature, designed
logos, corporate ID and signage, amongst other services, for customers ranging from small businesses
to local authorities, voluntary organisations and individuals.

In all our services we can promise individual attention to our customers' needs and an innovative
approach to design which will ensure that you get your message across in the most effective way.

As a member of a national organisation involved in the promotion of mental health in the UK I have a
personal commitment to the reduction of stigma and advancement of effective services in this hugely
misunderstood area of life. Although one in four people in the UK will suffer from mental distress at
some time in their life there is still a great deal of fear and discrimination associated with this subject.
To reflect this involvement I have taken the opportunity provided by this website to provide links to
local and national groups concerned with this subject.
