Titchfield Group has acquired all the printing presses and other assets at the former Gardners printing facility in Cardiff, along with a new lease, claiming that it has secured the future of one of Cardiff’s landmark industries.
Titchfield Group supplies a wide range of products from digital LED screens to consultancy for landlords accessing the out of home (OOH) advertising market.
The presses acquired were roll-fed and hybrid printers ranging between 1.6–5m in width from HP, Durst and EFI.
The new Titchfield Media now operates from a 67,000sqft facility with 30 staff members led by managing director Adrian Hallett, described to have the capacity and capability to be a major player in the OOH and premium retail print and event sectors.
As a print supplier, Titchfield Group with Titchfield Media, is now positioned to benefit from the growth forecast for the global and UK OOH market plus other sectors.
Titchfield founder Nigel Brunt said, ‘The former team from Gardners are now perfectly positioned to deploy their accumulated experience of over 650 years of industry knowledge and their unrivalled technical resources.
‘This is an exciting development, not just for Titchfield Group and the print and OOH industries but the wider economy of this part of Wales.’
Mr Hallett commented, ‘Top quality print is now more important than ever for a number of industries and here in Cardiff we have the people skills and kit to provide this at competitive prices.
‘Now with the backing and support of Nigel and his team at Titchfield Group we have the financial stability to make a real and lasting impact in the marketplace.’
