I'm Nikki and Printsave Group is far more than a printing company; it's my family's story.
It all began over 50 years ago when my dad left his job as an apprentice at a large printing firm and decided to go it alone. In 1975 he made a bold investment in his first printing machines and started a small business with big ambitions: to deliver premium-quality print with a personal touch.
Over the years, that small family business has grown into a trusted name serving the NHS, schools, charities, clubs, councils and organisations across the UK.
Some of my fondest memories are from those early days. Dad would come home covered in ink, trying to scrub it off in the kitchen sink while Mum sighed at the mess. When deadlines were tight, she'd sneak salt into his tea to make him smile. Mum and I spent countless hours in the finishing room folding leaflets for companies like Harvey Water Softeners, singing over the hum of the machines and drinking endless cups of tea.
Dad loved to make me laugh, telling me to blow on stacks of paper "to help them dry" or leaving plastic bugs on my desk so I'd squeal. Those moments built more than a business; they built a family tradition of hard work, care and fun.
I've now been part of Printsave for over 30 years and even though both Mum and Dad are no longer with us, I'm proud to carry their legacy forward. We still do things the way they taught me: with care, honesty and a personal touch. The print industry has changed a lot over five decades and we've seen trends come and go, but our values have never wavered - deliver premium products, keep prices fair and always put people first.
Today, Printsave Group offers a complete range of print and merchandise services. We create school leavers' books, hoodies, signage, stationery and branded merchandise, as well as bespoke printed materials for schools, charities, clubs, councils and businesses. Every project is handled in-house by a team that combines decades of experience with modern technology and a genuine passion for getting it right.
Our clients range from local schools and small charities to some of the UK's most respected names, including the NHS, Porsche, Sonata, local councils and more than 350 schools that trust us year after year. Whether we're producing a few bespoke books for a Year 6 class or thousands of branded items for a national campaign, our focus stays the same - quality, reliability and care.
We're proud to be based in the heart of Essex and Hertfordshire while serving customers across the UK. Whether you're creating a special Year 6 leavers book, ordering hoodies for your class, sourcing merchandise for a fundraising campaign or commissioning large-scale print for a business or council project, we're here to make the process easy, enjoyable and stress-free.
This business was built on family, fuelled by hard work and kept alive by the people and communities we serve. And after 50 years, that same spirit of care, creativity and community is stronger than ever.
"It's a privilege to continue what my parents started and to work with so many wonderful schools, charities and organisations. Thank you for being part of our story."
