Bristol Printers Reach Final of Industry Awards 2008

May 1, 2008 - PRLog -- Bristol’s very own printers Minuteman Press have been announced as finalists for a national print award in the British Printing Industry Federation’s (BPIF) Excellence Awards 2008.

Following a day of judging by a panel of print industry experts, Minuteman Press were voted one of four finalists. The nomination is for the performance of Minuteman Press in the category of ‘Marketing’.

The awards presentation will take place on 30 June at the London Hilton Hotel, Park Lane W1.

BPIF Excellence Awards are presented annually to UK based firms operating in the printing and supply of printed materials.

The performance of the company January 2007 to March 2008 qualified for inclusion.

“I purchased Minuteman Press in August 2006. The company required a significant overhaul in several functions to ensure that product quality, lead-time and customer response were excellent. A comprehensive marketing strategy was implemented alongside to ensure continued growth and expansion of facilities.” Peter Wise, Director, Minuteman Press.

“Reaching the final is the result of a great team effort and a lot of hard work. We are all thrilled and hope we will bring an award home to Bristol!” Peter Wise, Director, Minuteman Press.

“We were invited to deliver a written submission and a portfolio of our marketing strategy. The information needed to be clear, creative and differentiated. It had to show the synergy between our marketing strategy and our organisational priorities. We were also required to provide tangible results of the success of our strategy” Minuteman Press Director Peter Wise.

“During my work as editor of Printing World and PrintBuyer I see truly marvellous examples of all kinds of print; I also get to know the stories from the businesses behind these products. The sheer hard work, talent and persistence seen in this sector is inspiring. Excellence Awards give companies a chance to measure performance against peers and competitors.” Alison Carter, Editor, Printing World.

“These awards celebrate best practice in managing print businesses, highlighting the very best in class. We are very excited about this year's awards: they take a great deal of energy to organise but we always feel a sense of achievement when we see the calibre and number of entries.” Michael Johnson, Chief Executive, BDIF.
