“At Instantprint we’re all about making it as easy as possible for small and micro businesses to buy print. This investment enables us to do what we do best – help small businesses thrive.

“When we first moved into the building in 2015 it seemed vast, but with the investment in new equipment the space has been filling up quickly. The additional production space will allow the business to fulfil its growing demand and add new products to the current line-up”.

The business has plans to install the first Landa S10P Nanographic printing press in the UK, he added.

The £3.5million renovation of the new unit will begin next month and last until early 2020.
