Exciting expansion for The SPS Group

Print Solutions IndPrint

The SPS Group is in an exciting period of growth, working in partnership with major clients including Tesco and Specsavers, to provide an intelligent solution that matches their changing needs. By investing over £2 million since early 2013 in new equipment, the company can ensure that clients receive the highest flatbed quality that saves them vital budget and meets their bespoke requirements rather than a one size fits all approach.

Ross Haines from Specsavers recently declared a new HP Scitex FB10000 Industrial Press open, which will make the SPS Group the first UK point of sale printer to run two. The Scitex has increased production capacity leading to exceptional campaign to store lead times for clients. We are excited to be able to embark on larger scale projects with major retailers to produce industry leading campaign collateral. Installation of a Redline RL-2100 die cutting machine is also key to the operational improvement strategy.

Investing in two large format Latex HP Design Jet L26500 presses has allowed product line diversification including wallpapers, vinyl designs and canvas pictures, as a direct demand from the Specsavers recent re-branding projects, where over 600 stores were fitted with bespoke wallpaper, canvases and window vinyls. This project is set to be rolled out over the opticians European divisions.

Toby Martin, managing director, said: ‘We are really excited to align our growth with clients’ feedback. Our continued investment programme is allowing us to keep at the front of technology and offer an end to end solution that solves key retail marketing challenges.’

This operational improvement project has been completed alongside a recruitment project. Employing leading talent in the business development, graphic design, marketing and account manager departments, has led to partnerships with exciting new clients and growth of existing clients. With a 35% growth in turnover for 2013, the expansion and reinvestment process looks set to continue long into
