Meet The Team

Paul Tomlin

Director

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 Doidge

Director

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.'

Jon Barker

Account Manager

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.'

Graham Gould

Production Manager

Graham has worked in print for over 30 years, so when we say we know what we are talking about, we really do have a wealth of experience here at Kingfisher!

Beginning as a machine minder, Graham has a full understanding of the physical process of printing.

Having spent 15 years running presses Graham moved into the role of production manager. Now, 15 years later and Graham is responsible for the production of all print at Kingfisher Press.

Managing projects on a daily basis is hectic and with 4 printing machines and over 7 different in-house finishing departments plus deliveries, it’s no easy task.

Providing a smooth transition from booking-in through to delivering to clients, it all falls to Graham to ensure everything is on track at all times.
