60 seconds with Evolution Print

Jonathan Newbould started the original Evolution in 1996, and was joined by business partner Graham Congreve in 2006 when the duo bought out another printer. As a result, the ‘new’ Evolution is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. “We’re a passionate and industrious bunch,” says Newbould.
