Service Point closes small shops for big client focus

Print manager Service Point has closed three of its high-street branches.

Small shops in Bath, Londons Camden and Shoreditch were merged with larger branches near each store.

Communications manager Charlotte Beauvoisin said the firm was focusing on big clients in building and engineering and said it would take on more staff.

The 700-staff firm with a turnover of 48m recently cut around 30 jobs. These were mainly in exhibitions with a few in print.

The firm recently bought over 1m of Xerox DocuColor 2060 and 12 machines to grow its colour services. It is soon to launch version four of its print-order software, Repronet.

Service Point was recently shortlisted for the Effectiveness Awards run by New Media Age.
