Historic commercial printer looks to invest in the future

A nationally-renowned commercial printer with a considerable Warwickshire heritage is looking to invest in its future.

John Good, a commercial printer with an affinity for the arts, has plans in the pipeline to invest in a next-generation digital press and a specialist binding machine as it looks to continue its work to provide the highest quality products to customers.

The Rugby-based company is also focusing on energy saving, having recently invested in new LED lighting site-wide, with plans to also invest in solar roof panel energy.

John Good seeks to be a creative publishing company offering a large number of services including printing, design, editorial, picture research, account management, and mailing and fulfilment.

It is particularly notable for its leading position as a theatre programme publisher, with around one million created annually by a design studio, supported by a vast editorial library.

The print room, which features Heidelberg and Kodak lithographic and digital equipment, also serves commercial customers, ranging from sectors such as automotive, legal, finance, retail and leisure, to lifestyle, manufacturing, education, wholesale and more.

Large-format presses are also available for sheet posters and banners.

Finished products can be delivered directly to the customer, or companies can liaise with in-house JG Mailing colleagues should fulfilment be required.

John Good is heavily involved with the community, participating in Royal Leamington Spa College’s work experience programme and regularly fundraising for the local Trussell Trust foodbank.

Its efforts to protect the environment include careful material waste segregation, recycling where possible, safe disposal procedures, applying vegetable inks and drastically reducing plastic stream.

Till Siegers, a spokesperson for John Good, said: “At John Good we guide customers on their journey. Understanding client intentions is paramount to our business development team who engage and explore requirements so that objectives are matched by affordable pricing.

“They know print deadlines can be sensitive and tight turnarounds are not uncommon.

“Print assignments are looked after by a professional account manager who can advise on file submission, paper stocks, finishes and inks.

“The John Good pre-press team then connects your account manager with the print room, before file proofs are validated.

“Our print and finishing team has over 200 years’ combined experience. Once a print run is completed, the despatch team securely packages your finished product for delivery.

“Alternately, a job may require mailing and we can liaise seamlessly with colleagues at JG Mailing. Our ample Rugby premises can accommodate warehousing and productpicking for logistic and distribution needs.

“Many of the John Good staff have been with the company for years - some even decades - not least thanks to an ethos of professional development and promotion from within.

“Our collaborative teams work tirelessly to deliver products and services that make a difference. The combination of first-rate print, outstanding customer service and the personal touch of an experienced team, make John Good a proud Warwickshire printing business with local links and national reach.”

John Good is accredited by select industry bodies, boasting relationships with International Organization for Standardization (ISO), British Print Industry Federation (BPIF), Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and UK Theatre.
