Just in case you thought you couldn't get away from us from the "other" forum, we're here too! (Thanks Fuzzy).

Peter & the team at printing.com

A little bit about us:
We're based in Manchester and have a network of over 240 print franchises throughout the UK and Ireland. Our aim is to help small businesses to promote themselves better. We do this by our 'consultative' approach to design and print, backed up with production at one of the UK's most advanced print production centres.

We have a few franchise formats because we don't believe one size fits all. There's our traditional start-up Territory franchise, designed for sales or marketing professionals wanting to quit the corporate world. Then our 'bolt-on' franchise helps existing graphics and print businesses to remain competitive in a pretty fierce marketplace - they keep their existing business and sell our printing at the same prices as our dedicated stores. Finally, our 'guerrilla' franchisees are a very low-cost start-up, especially for graphic designers who want to start their own business.

And lastly, we've teamed up with Professor David Bellamy and Tree Appeal with an aim to plant 50,000 trees for schools. We're half way there already, but we need your help... we'll plant a tree in a school in UK or Ireland for every eighth order we receive.
