Graphic Arts (UK) New Ownership
Alan Buck, 72, the owner of Graphics Arts (UK) and its subsidiaries Concept4 Creative and Printoff Graphic Arts has retired and the company is sold out to an MBO team.
On the occasion of 40th anniversary of the company, the decision was made out. MBO team consists of 03 members. These are Alex Buck, who is the son of Alan and the technology director of the company. The other 02 members are Jason Tomlinson, the finance director and Jane Cleaver the managing director of the company. All of these members will remain in their existing roles within the company.

Cleaver explained that they were in discussion since the start of this year and finally ended up with a quick deal.
She said: “There wasn’t a lot of nitty gritty, Alan wanted this to happen, we wanted it to happen and we were able to work through it very swiftly.
“As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the business this has been very timely. Alan is very confident that we will be able to take things further forward for him and we are all excited at the opportunity.”
All of these MBO members are in business for more than 20 years.
“We aren’t looking for much change, we have from Printoff’s point of view invested in a new web-to-print solution that has taken traction,” added Cleaver.
“We feel we can press forward with that and embrace the technology that is out there and feel we are quite unique because of what we offer as a group of companies. So we will be embracing new technologies but continuing to invest in traditional print.”
This is a good notion that a company is sold out to internal members. MBO members are already involved in the operations and progress of the company, so there wouldn’t be much change in the management.

Vinyl Banners Printing Invests in New 3.2m Large Format Digital Printer
The latest company to pop up as an online seller of digital printed large format banners, Vinyl Banners Printing, has invested in the latest technology by investing in a Konica head 3.2m large format digital printer which is said to be at the forefront of large format digital printing.
With amazing print speeds of up to 150sqm per hour, this machine is a dream for any large format printing facility. By investing in this machine, the company has tripled its daily production, compared to their Epson DX7 printing machines which had 4 of. Now these 4 machines have been made redundant giving way to this new technology.
The online seller first came on the seen in 2013 and from modest beginning, has now evolved into one of the leading banner printing companies in the UK, who sell their services online. The new technology has now placed Vinyl Banners Printing in a very strong position to grow their online offering even further to increase the demand.
Customers will also benefit from this new investment as they will get banners alot quicker, higher resolution and can order larger sizes. The company which has grown from a bedroom now employs over 36 full time staff. Most of which are designers and customer support agents.
Park Communications Invested A Great Deal In Finishing
The London based company Park Communication has almost invested £200,000 for in house lay-flat binding and die-cutting.
The company contains 130 staff members and is growing rapidly. It has purchased a Kisun Digi Binder DB-440 and a Heidelberg SBD Zenith and they are installed in the company premises.

Alison Branch, the managing director of Park Communication explained that besides outsourcing these operations, they have brought in their own machine to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost. The firm said that they have rigorously tested these machines before bringing these in house.
Branch said: “A lot of our customers are in the property and fashion markets, and particularly in property they love to use double-page spreads because this really maximises the impact of the imagery.
“So property developers, builders and design agencies love lay-flat binding and we were finding there was an increased customer requirement and it’s much easier for us to keep the process in-house; it’s faster, more cost-effective, we reduce carbon emission and it’s just much easier to control the process.”
The lay-flat binder provides strength to binding as the binder sandwiches the two sheets and performs its tasks perfectly.
“The Zenith was brought in as we were finding volumes building up, so we said, ‘Right, this is the chance to internalise’,” added Branch.
“The BBC rang me and said there was good news on unemployment figures and they wanted to present those against the backdrop of a busy, efficient manufacturing facility,” said Branch.
“Their research team had identified companies that might be appropriate and through that they had identified Park.”
It is a good notion to have further investment in bringing up-to-dated machines in-house. It saves time and considerable cost for the company.
