Double-digit growth at Empine

Darwen-based commercial print marketing company Empine Group has recorded a 35.8 per cent rise in revenue  and a 46.8 per cent increase in gross profit.

The year featured significant investment in a wide-format printer and the appointment of Katy Morris as office manager.

Anthony Taylor, print director, said: "The last year has been an interesting one for us where we have yet again shown how print marketing, done in the correct way, is extremely powerful.

"The year has seen us continue to work with a large portfolio of customers as well as welcoming some new high-profile names to our client base, and the results speak for themselves.

Jacob Knowles, business director, added: "The jump in revenue has been hugely rewarding for investing in the business, but has also highlighted some areas that we have to improve in order to continue to grow at this rate, whilst maintaining and improving the levels of customer service we are known for."
