Seriously Responsible Print increases turnover by 60%

Commercial printer Seriously Responsible Print has increased its turnover by 60% to 180,000 in its second year of trading, after implementing a series of environmental initiatives.

The Norfolk-based company already has ISO 14001 certification and is currently undertaking FSC accreditation and trying to become carbon neutral

Managing director Christina Norton said: "The ethos of the business is about being corporate and socially responsible, and I want to show that printed, sustainable communications are affordable and an easy route to take.

"The aim is to embrace the business community to show that recycled, sustainable papers with traceability from the forest to the reader can be exciting."

She added that any company can choose to be socially responsible, as it has direct benefits on a business' bottom line, as well as its conscience.

The company currently has two staff, but is looking to recruit an apprentice to learn the business from a grass-roots level.

Its work includes small- and medium-run digital work. Clients include public organisations such as the NHS Sustainability Unit and the University of East Anglia.
