Empine relocates ready for growth

The Empine Group has relocated to new premises in Darwen which will expand the operations footprint eightfold and prepare the print marketing company for future growth.

Empine was previously based at DACE, but has moved to the Hub at Junction 4 of the M65.

The expansion enables the company to recruit two new members of staff within the next six months.

Empine Group was founded by Jacob Knowles, 24, and Anthony Taylor, 26, in 2016.

Anthony has previously worked on print projects for clients such as Morrisons, and Jacob has a business background that has caught the eye of dragons Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis.

Jacob said: “The move to the new unit is extremely exciting and overdue for us. The space will allow us to accommodate new staff over the coming months as well as the vastly increasing turnover of stock we have.

"Our current offices in The Bridge@DACA have been fundamental in the growth of Empine, however it is time to step it up again to continue to deliver great service to our customers.”

Over the last 12 months Empine has grown to work with over 120 new clients, delivering printed marketing materials and support to ensure that clients are printing in the right places rather than just printing a lot. At just 2 years old, Empine already works with two Blue chip clients and has delivered their print to clients in France, Holland, Portugal, Spain and Dubai.
