Our story
Our story began back in 1989 when Danny’s father set up Solo Print, a print consultancy company, finding the most competitively priced printing solutions for his clients.
After learning his trade as a Mac operator, planner and a platemaker, Danny joined the company in 1993. It then became Positive Images UK. We bought a small platemaker in Wimbledon and outsourced the remaining print to trusted third parties.
As the business started to grow we were able to invest in new and leading technology. First we bought a one colour press and then a four colour press. In 2005 we moved to Surrey, upgraded to a six colour press and installed digital presses.
Having invested in technology, we were seeing the convenience of online ordering really take off with our clients. Looking to grow the business and our footprint, we acquired West One in Farringdon, London.
In 2019 we partnered with Tony Dennington and Colouration, an established name in the supply of POS material for the Beauty and Fragrances industries and they re-located to our expanded Surrey production house. In 2020 Positive Images UK and Colouration become one, with a new POSITIVE + brand and a fresh new website.
By bringing the two companies together we were able to offer our customers an even wider range of creative solutions, with more capacity for larger projects, as well as access to the most sustainable design and manufacturing practices.
As well as making sure we were always at the cutting edge of innovation, we know that we were nothing without the right people. The team has grown steadily, bringing along new talent with a loyal and flexible approach.
