A new chapter for local producer of premium branded products Noted in Style
On the 11 May, BPIF members Noted in Style, makers and suppliers of bespoke stationery and packaging to the corporate market, had their new premises opened by local MP Damian Collins. As he cut the red ribbon to officially open the building, Mr Collins commented, "I'm pleased it's been such a success and wish you every success in the future as well".
Once inside, the invited guests, including BPIF representative Mandy Robson, had a chance to look around the building and try their hand at foil printing their own books, as well as getting their handwriting analysed by a professional graphologist. A traditional British afternoon tea was also served to keep guests refreshed.
The move sees Noted in Style acquire almost three times the space they had previously to accommodate the growth of the business and expansion into other markets. Having started with a small handful of noteworthy clients, they've since built on this and made loyal and satisfied customers of global brands such as Facebook, Google, Adidas and BAFTA and now employ a full-time team of 14 people. It is expected that, as they continue to grow, more staff will be needed from the local area.

Slight recovery of output and orders falls short of expectations in Q4 - confidence concerns mount in 2024
22 February 2024
Performance in the UK's printing and printed packaging industry did improve in Q4, as far as output and orders are concerned. However, it didn't come close to what would historically be considered the seasonal norm, nor quite match the subdued expectations for Q4.
