After defining a location and office for the company I started researching into environmentally friendly printers in and around the Brighton area. One of the main reasons the group decided to work from Brighton is because of its vibrant culture and booming creative scene. A benefit of this was the amount of choice available for environmentally friendly print services, in Brighton alone there are a number of firms focused on providing clients with the most sustainable solutions available allowing me to select the most relevant and professional company to work with.
PRINTERS - GEMINI PRESS
After reviewing a range of printers I came across a printing company called 'Gemini Press'. Based in Shoreham, West Sussex the company pride themselves on being one of the most environmentally friendly print presses in England, with over forty years of experience providing print services to clients. Other printers that I came across offered sustainable solutions but not to the extent and level of professionalism achieved by Gemini.
