Nationwide Print was ‘Highly Commended’ this week at the national PrintWeek Awards.

The St Austell-based company received the accolade in the Small or Medium Enterprise (SME) category.

MD, Julian Hocking, who attended the award ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, said: “We are extremely proud to be counted as one of the best printing companies of our size in the whole of the UK.”

Nationwide, which was founded in 1959 and now employs 15 people at the Holmbush Industrial Estate, won the same title in 2014.

Hocking added: “Our success in the PrintWeek Awards over the last few years has been a contributing factor in our continued growth. It has helped give us the confidence to invest in new technology and staff, and spurred us on to become a green leader in the printing industry.

“My team are dedicated and ambitious, and I know we’ll secure the top spot again.”

Returning from London off the back of this award success, Hocking will now turn his attention to rolling out new technology upgrades, including colour management software and digital finishing equipment.
