The people
Ten people, one building.
Sales, artwork, print, sewing and accounts all sit under the same roof in Camelford. It’s why the person who answers the phone can tell you whether your logo will print well - they can walk to the press and ask.
Most companies in this trade import the frame, subcontract the print and pass you between three suppliers when something goes wrong. We just walk down the corridor.
At the helm
Directors
Following the retirement of our founders, two long-standing members of the team took the reins - with the founders still on hand for advice.

If the founders should appear in an advisory role, send me their names.

Who handles your brand
Design & artwork
They turn a logo into a print-ready layout and check every file before it goes near the press. Worth naming - customers like knowing who is looking after their branding.
Designer
Name, and what they’re good at - Pantone matching, redrawing rough logos, large-format layout.
Artwork
Optional second designer.
Who prints it
Print & manufacture
Dye-sublimation at 200°C, frame assembly and finishing. Everything that turns a roll of cloth into a canopy.
Name, and how long they’ve run the press.
Manufacture
Name, and what they build.
Production
Optional third.
Who sews it
Sewing
Canopies, walls, flags and covers, cut and stitched by hand in Cornwall. The part of the process nobody else on your shortlist does themselves.

Name, and how long they’ve been sewing here.
Machinist
Optional second.
Who sorts the paperwork
Accounts
Invoices, credit accounts and everything that keeps the doors open.

The choice
Two ways to do it.
The workshop is open
Come and see us
If you’d like to see a stall rigged before you commit, call ahead and come down. Frames, canopies, walls, flags and print all happen in the one building.
Talk to a person
No call centre
Ring the number and you’ll get someone who can price a job, tell you whether your artwork will print well, and say so if a smaller frame would do.
Send me names, job titles and a sentence each and I’ll write these properly. Portraits are optional - the cards work without them, but a real face beats a dashed box.
Next step
Tell us what you’re planning.
Sizes, print, ground conditions, how many and when. We’ll come back with a price and a free visual - and if something simpler would do the job, we’ll tell you that too.
