The move continues…..

Well, what can we say but the move continues. COVID has impacted us all and we are no different. we have found that our business has become more difficult and with the looming of a no deal BREXIT in the future, there is going to be challenges. Having said that we are very positive about our future and the project we are trying to create, basically being more than that cookie-cutter print business we see on every corner run by the person with no design flair.

Currently, Niall is back with the company having decided to take a year out from medicine. He is planning to re-release a clothing brand in 2021 and will drive the business consulting end of the business forward. We have seen an increase in people starting new businesses so the hope is to provide a supportive service for them. Branding remains a big part of starting a business and one that make or break it in the early days. we have found this with some of the projects we have worked with that they have reported increase footfall and business simply with a new logo and updated signage.

Niall’s experience and educational background provide a good grounding for this aspect of our business.

We have moved into new premises although still not fully open to the public and working on an appointment only system currently. Projects and business continue to hire us and we see a large increase in existing businesses looking to upgrade their signage. Popular products have been the lighted signage, although a more expensive option the sign stands out and proven to increase customer footfall.

Expansion for ourselves will continue with the acquirement of new production machinery. This will see us move into embroidery more and the production of garments. This is a massive market for us to access and the hope to export much more in the future. Our website will also offer video appointments soon, these will be priced at £35 per hour session and paid at the time of booking. This allows us to access the larger public and gives a safe meeting platform for the meeting.

I cannot end a 2020 post without talking about BREXIT. To date, we have been told about price increases in supplies ranging from 6% to 20%. Unfortunlently this cost increase will affect our prices also, we have been able to keep our prices low since BREXIT was first mentioned but we can not absorb these increases anymore. Deliveries have been affected and until we are given further advice we are very much so in the dark.

At this time I would like to thank you all for the support this year. Our business has continued to grow and we may be looking for members to join our team very soon.

Wishing everyone a good holiday time and productive new year.
