EPSL calls on 21Digital to boost online presence

Blackburn-based EPSL Educational Printing has enlisted the services of neighbouring 21Digital to boost its online presence.

The company specialises in materials for educational establishments, such as exercise books, student planners, reading records, spelling books, teacher planners, reward stickers and personalised school posters.

EPSL and 21Digital are developing the new website for the reopening of schools, colleges, universities and academies after the Covid-19 lockdown.

Sam Fletcher, 21Digital managing director, said: "Although Covid-19 has accelerated some schools’ moves further towards digitally based learning, the truth is physical, printed resources remain very much at the heart of a healthy school life and rounded education.

"EPSL was never going to sit still while demand dropped temporarily during school closures and they developed a really strong brief for the new website to support the management team’s long term growth strategy for the business.

"The new website will aim to modernise the customer buying experience and also to highlight the unique selling points of EPSL’s high quality products in comparison to cheaper imports."
