Meet the Team

Paul co-founded Kingfisher Press in 1991, and has overseen the company's growth into a mature, dynamic and successful print company. Recognising that staff are the key to the success of any business, he defines his role as team manager rather than boss and runs the company accordingly.

A great champion of customer service, Paul ensures this principle is applied to all aspects of the business, saying 'Everybody here understands that our clients are everything and everyone is prepared, and wants, to go that extra mile every day'.

Jon joined Kingfisher Press in 1992 as a machine minder and became co-director in 2003. He splits his time between running the litho and digital presses and managing the factory floor - giving Kingfisher Press the edge when it comes to production planning and management. 'With Paul in the office, the two most important areas of the business are overseen by a director at all times and that ensures continuity of service. If there is an issue with a job no matter how small - we know in a moment and can resolve it immediately.'

'That close partnership between directors and staff also means we can't help but be a friendly, approachable and honest company - probably why we enjoy such loyalty from our customers.'

Production manager at Kingfisher Press since 2001, Richard's responsibility is the efficient throughput of work, from booking in through to despatch, alongside giving expert support in the reprographics department - an added advantage when it comes to understanding (and responding to) the complexities of a customer's project.

Fully conversant with the company's new Fuji-Xerox DC5000AP digital press, Richard is also a champion of variable data. 'We regularly produce particularly complex projects for high profile retailers and commercial clients using variable data. The ease with which we can process these jobs, and the cost savings, are remarkable'.

Because Graham's print career started in a small, single colour printers and then progressed to a respected five-colour printer with a £2 million turnover, he really does know the business inside out.

Working with design agencies, insurance firms, retail and pharmaceutical companies along with businesses both locally and nationally, Graham's knowledge gives Kingfisher clients great confidence.

'We take the attitude that every job is important to us simply because it's important to a client - and that means we deliver on time. Every time.'

Jon started in print as an estimator, which gave him a sound knowledge of all the print processes. From initial set up and repro through to finishing Jon's clients find his experience and insight invaluable.

'The reason our customer loyalty is so high is that we concentrate on service with a focus on client support and management. At Kingfisher we still feel that the customer comes first - a concept sadly missing in many industries and businesses.'

Having worked in the design industry for many years, Nina has a solid background in both print and design and a thorough understanding of how the process works. This, alongside her own experience as a print buyer, means she knows the pressures clients are under - and the real importance of deadlines.

'The advent of digital presses offering short run and variable data print has opened new markets to us - as has the web. And as more and more clients buy print on line, search engines, SEO, analytics and web directories are becoming increasingly important to our marketing - but the moment you get an enquiry it makes all that hard work worthwhile!'
