The Leicester-based B3 firm's managing director Steve Wenlock said that getting into B2 was a natural progression for the company.

"We decided to go for the press to diversify and also to expand our range of work," he said. "We are producing work now that lends itself to a bigger press."

The nine-staff company is in the process of moving to a larger site over the next few weeks.

Wenlock added he was also looking to purchase an Océ press at Ipex, but hadn't confirmed this at the time of going to press.
