Starting off in their kitchen with a single clothing press, the couple have built up operations enough for two successive expansions into larger high-street shops.

Picking up the keys in December, the Gambles worked over Christmas to renovate the shop for its 1 February opening.

Jo Gamble told Printweek that the move from side street to a main road in the centre of town has already helped bring customers into the shop.

She said: “We definitely get people popping in – the footfall has been a lot better.

“People are even just coming in to buy [pre-printed] hoodies, and they’re interested in what we do.”

Gamble added that the firm’s Hotronix heat press for transfer prints onto baseball caps had generated plenty of interest on its own.

The press sits alongside a number of other machines in Print N Go’s back room, with a Mimaki CJV150-160 inkjet printer-cutter, Roland DG solvent SP1400 printer-cutter and several other heat presses.

Print N Go is looking forward to growth in 2024, with Gamble hoping to take on staff once the firm can afford it.

“It’s just myself and Nick at the minute, so we’re working every hour. But we invested heavily in the shop, so we’re hoping within a few months that we can then take someone on, alleviate some of the pressure and get someone young and dynamic on,” she said.

“In terms of new machinery, we’ll be at Print & Promotion, just having a quick look around. We wouldn’t mind replacing our main printers.”

For now, however, Gamble said she and her husband were excited: “Definitely excited, and nervous – but you just have to go for it, don’t you?”
