SEASON’S GREETINGS FROM ALL THE TEAM AT POSITIVE!
The Positive Print Group is proud to launch our Positive Planet initiative! Positive and Colouration became partners in the Positive Print Group earlier this year.
The new initiative is a commitment by the group to continue to reduce our environmental impact and produce sustainable solutions for our clients, ourselves and the future of our planet.
2019 has seen an increase in consumer concern over sustainability, with the EU and several other governments committing to banning certain single use plastic items.
Tony Dennington, Managing Director of Colouration said “Sustainability will be a key priority for our clients in 2020. The Positive Print Group is able to utilise the latest innovation, technology, knowledge and materials to reduce our environmental impact and offer our clients a range of new and exciting sustainable solutions.”

Positive and Colouration have partnered to form a new larger print group.
The directors of both companies believe there are many benefits to bringing the two family-owned businesses together.
Positive’s Managing Director, Danny Sullivan said “Each company has different but complimentary services. Through the partnership both businesses will be able to offer their clients a wider range of solutions”.
Positive Images UK, who recently celebrated 25 years of trading, provide design, print, direct mail, web 2 print and marketing solutions for clients in the retail, media, financial, charity, cosmetics and health and wellbeing sectors.
Colouration, founded as a family business in 2001, has evolved to become market leaders in delivering high end displays and visual solutions to the beauty, fragrance, retail and events industries. Colouration offers inhouse services including creative design, print, cardboard engineering, acrylic fabrication, site builds, media rollouts and installation.
To strengthen the partnership Colouration has re-located to Positive’s newly expanded Surrey factory and head office.
Tony Dennington, Managing Director of Colouration said “By partnering Colouration and Positive we have doubled our production capacity, allowing us to offer a wider range of production services to our clients for both smaller and bigger projects, all from one purpose-built site. Good internal structures, improved production efficiencies and a strong account management team ensure we are well placed to offer a greater range of visual image services to our valued clients and open the doors for growth”.
Both directors are keen to stress that it is very much business as usual. “We will be keeping both the Positive and Colouration brands, as they are very well established” Danny Sullivan added.
The newly formed group now boasts a 35,000 square foot site, employs 44 members of staff and is expecting a £5.5 million turnover for this year.

Congratulations to Jay Sullivan, Production Manager, who is celebrated 20 years at POSITIVE last month.
Jay joined the company back in 1999 and has grown with the business, working his way up from an apprentice to a Print Minder and then a Production Manager.
Jay said that advancements in technology have transformed the print industry over the past 20 years:
“First we bought a four colour press, then a six colour press and then we installed digital presses.
“Digital print has changed the market completely over recent years, with shorter print runs, faster turnaround times and improved quality”.
Today POSITIVE provides design, print, direct mail, web 2 print and marketing solutions for clients in the retail, media, financial, charity, cosmetics and health and wellbeing sectors.
POSITIVE operates digital presses, Heidelberg litho technology and Roland wide format printers as well as a wide array of direct mail and finishing equipment and machinery.

Positive has kicked off the first quarter of 2019 by investing in new machinery, including a Ricoh Pro C9210 Digital Printing Press, a Horizon SPF/FC-200L A4 Landscape Booklet Maker and a Heidelberg Suprasetter A74 Platesetter.
