Green investment for Pepper Communications

Further to the recent installation of solar panels to the roof of their Plymouth based site to reduce both their carbon footprint and save on energy costs, Pepper Communications have taken delivery of a Speedmaster XL 106 to add to their investments. The press, which is specified with Autoplate Pro and Inpress Control, was supplied by Redditch-based used equipment dealer Albion Machinery and has been certified as carbon neutral.

Pepper's Operations Director Jake Whitford said 'the business has been undergoing an almost non-stop business improvement cycle over the past three years, in order to achieve the best results for our customers.  The XL 75 we installed four years ago has been hugely successful for us and we are already finding the XL 106 to be incredibly impressive, it feels light years ahead in terms of performance and operation and there's definitely a quality boost in terms of the sharpness. We've also seen an improvement in the clarity of the print and an efficiency gain where we've gone from running an average of just over 12,000sph to a constantly on the clock speed of nowhere less than 17,000sph or 18,000sph for most stocks."

He further added that the investment has resulted in a promotion for one of the firm's press team, who started as an apprentice 13 years ago and will now become press room manager after rising through the ranks of the business.  'This all ties in nicely with the growth and investment plans we have for the business.'

Dawn Reid, Regional Director for the region added, 'both the green investments and the opportunity this provides to grow the internal team is great for the business, this has been an ethos of theirs for as long as I can remember - and long may it continue.
