LucyApril 2010 - Lucy Savory Joins Us

We are pleased to announce the arrival of Lucy Savory who joins us from a printing company in Portsmouth. Lucy has been appointed as Office Manager but with an active account manager role. As the company is expanding and with the arrival of two further trainees, we realised that we needed an experienced person in position to not only boost the numbers in order for us to continue to provide a rapid response time to enquiries and take responsibility for key accounts but also to act as a mentor to the trainees to ensure they are progressing well and working in accordance with the Quality Management System at all times.

Lucy went into the print industry as a graduate trainee after graduating from Staffordshire University eight years ago and latterly held the role as Account Manager. She is now living back in Nottingham, her home town with her partner and 16 month old daughter Charlotte and is looking forward to getting back into the sporting social scene in Nottingham. Lucy describes herself as ‘loving a good competition’. She also enjoys family time and having a good night out with the girls!

April 2010 - Oliver Smith Joins Us

Oliver Smith joined us on 6th April this year; coming from a role a Customer Service Adviser for a local motor vehicle distributor. To his credit, Oliver also worked on Saturdays during this time as a Sales Assistant for a major sports equipment retailer.
As Oliver hasn’t had any previous experience in the print industry, he joins us in a trainee Customer Services role but he’s learning fast!
Oliver will soon commence an NVQ level 2 in Business Studies & Administration which he will undertake during the working week here at Accent Print.


April 2010 - Easter Egg HuntTreetops Hospice

Our Managing Director took his family to Treetops Hospice in Risley, Derbyshire which is just a few mile away from us, to make a donation of 40 Easter eggs for the hospice’s annual egg hunt  which took place in the grounds of the hospice. The eggs are used for the Chocolate Heaven Tombola which goes down a storm apparently.
The children go off to find hard boiled eggs in the ground which are ‘swapped’ for a goody bag of sweets and chocolate.
There are two raffles to allow them to win bigger eggs.
Luckily it was a fabulous sunny day and everyone – young and slightly older – had a great time and managed to raise over £1,500 in the process.

Take a look at the Treetops link below.

Morgana DocumasterFebruary 2009 - Morgana Documaster And Square Backed Booklets

It’s been a year now since we invested in the Morgana Documaster system, a completely automated, multi-functional digital finishing system that feeds pre-collated sheets, then creases, folds and staples the sheets to form a finished booklet all in one pass. The final part of the process is to Square Back the booklet, which ensures the booklet is completely flat regardless of the number of pages within the publication. The square back system gives booklets a perfect bound appearance.
