Half-Way into 2026: A Reflection on the year so far
It’s officially half-way into the year, which is a scary thought….. but what makes it slightly less terrifying is taking a moment to have a breather and look back everything that has been achieved so far.
This time last year we had just celebrated our second birthday, alongside the launch of our website. Some of you might remember (Or remember not so much) of the party we threw to celebrate.
In 2025 we made some major and game-changing investments, expanding our team, our capabilities and technology. Those investments laid the foundations for a strong first half of 2026.
Without further ado, lets have a look at what we’ve gotten up to!
Launched our new logo to accompany our brand identity
This logo acts as a visual representation of a refocused direction. It signifies our commitment to going, 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥 for our customers. It represents our growth, our goals & where we're headed next.
The launch of a new logo meant that it was only right that our van got a makeover as well.
We definitely have not been missed on the roads since.
We’ve always felt strongly about promoting the importance of apprenticeships in the Print Industry and the development of a new generation of printers- particularly because of the impact they've had on our own business, even while they are at the early beginnings of their career.
This includes Luke Ashwood, who has been with the company for close to 3 years and submitted the final part of his apprenticeship just this week!
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

At the end of April, we had the pleasure of hosting our first (of many) Wine Tasting Evening for our customers. It went down an absolute treat!
A pretty major event we took part in was The Spirit of Speyside Festival, of which we attended as proud partners. We made several pit-stops along the way and were warmly welcomed in, to participating distilleries.
Launched our, ‘In the Spirit’ Video Series on LinkedIn
Where we invite you to go beyond the press and meet our expert team
We adventured once more, this time to sunny London, to attend the London Wine Fair. Here we met new connections and got a better understanding of the booming English Wine and Sparkling Wine Market (as well as a little bit of English Whisky)
The whisky and spirits industry certainly comes with its challenges, but we're always incredibly grateful for every opportunity to innovate, adapt, and overcome.
This year, we've settled into the standards and goals we set for ourselves and have allowed ourselves some room for some fun while doing so- including hosting our first Wine Tasting Evening for our customers and attending the Spirit of Speyside Festival as proud sponsors.
Here’s to the rest of the year!
