AN INTERVIEW WITH: Natalie Hunt Leicester Grammar School Trust
Every print job has a story behind it. In this regular feature, our print partner Soar Valley Press introduces Niche Magazine to the Leicester-based people they work with, to absorb
the tales from when their projects go to press WORDS BY TOM YOUNG
The summer holidays – for students and teachers, a time to relax. But with another school year on the horizon, for those school employees who work outside the classroom, the momentum continues. At Leicester Grammar School, preparations for the autumn term are already underway.
Natalie Hunt is the Head of Marketing for Leicester Grammar School (LGS) Trust and also handles LGS admissions. It’s her duty to promote the school’s interests, forge partnerships with other schools, and oversee the production of any print materials required.
With such an intense portfolio of responsibility, Natalie is reliant on good business partners to share the burden. Soar Valley Press are one such partner.
“Soar Valley Press have creative designers, good pricing and best of all, are very quick to help,” says Natalie. “That’s especially useful when a lot of things we do are last-minute!”
You might wonder how much print marketing a school requires, but there’s a variety of needs from fence and pull-up banners to posters, postcards and brochures. Even site signage is handled by SVP.
“Very recently everything was incredibly hectic at the end of term, and we needed a few things – a banner and some postcard passports. SVP – as always – turned this around for me within days. Quite often, Dave is kind enough to deliver things to me personally, which says it all really!”
The upcoming term will be a proud and significant one for Leicester Grammar School, with their highest ever pupil numbers, and development of programmes with partner schools such as Manor and Gartree High and St Cuthbert’s in Great Glen. They’ll also be working with local charities and community groups, meaning there’s plenty to keep Soar Valley Press busy!
“I can’t think of a time they haven’t been able to help, no matter what the request or deadline has been. They go above and beyond to come up with great quality solutions for whatever we need.”
