A family-owned printing business is set to record its best ever sales figures, with an expected revenue of £1.1 million.
Orchard Press, based in Swindon, has been operating for 35 years and is now on the brink of becoming completely debt-free.
The company, owned by husband and wife Jason and Samantha Grubb, has steadily grown into one of Wiltshire's "most trusted independent printing companies," it said.
It offers a range of solutions from digital printing to traditional offset printing, wide format, postal, filament, and installation.
Mr Grubb said: "Reaching £1.1 million in sales is a very proud moment for all of us. It shows that our investment, both in our services and our people, is paying off.
"We are particularly proud to achieve this while also nearing the incredible goal of being debt-free. It’s a testament to the hard work of our entire team."
The business, which has a team of 10 employees with a combined 124 years of service, is thriving due to an "excellent focus on customer service," it said.
Mr and Mrs Grubb bought Orchard Press from the Rowley family a decade ago and have since led the company to success.
The company has also made significant improvements to its infrastructure this year.
A new website was launched earlier this year to "better serve clients and showcase the company’s extensive range of printing services".
The production flooring was completely revamped, new toilet facilities were installed, and the exterior of the building received a full facelift.
Mr Grubb said: "The changes we’ve made during 2024, from launching the new website to upgrading our facilities, were all about improving both the working environment for our team and the service we offer to our clients.
"This investment sets the stage for continued growth and improvements to ensure that Orchard Press is well-positioned for the future."
The company also achieved a seal of excellence for its health and safety, with the support of Josh at the BPIF.
As Orchard Press looks ahead to 2025, the company said it remains committed to "maintaining its family-owned ethos while continuing to innovate and expand its offerings in an array of design, print, and installation services".
Mr and Mrs Grubb are excited about future opportunities for growth and are confident Orchard Press will "remain a cornerstone of the printing industry for years to come".
