Positive has been successfully trading for 25 years!
Managing Director, Danny Sullivan attributes the company’s success to investing in the latest technology, diversifying at the right times and always focusing on our clients to ensure first class customer service.
Our story began back in 1989 when Danny’s father set up Solo Print. Danny joined the company back in 1993 and the business became Positive Images.
The company grew from strength to strength and now boasts a 12,000 square foot Surrey factory, a London sales office and a number of high profile clients.
Today we are known as Positive. We continue to be at the forefront of innovation and earlier this year launched our new multichannel marketing service.
Danny Sullivan, Managing Director says:-
“I am very proud of the way the company has progressed. We’ve grown our family business from a single printing press into a multichannel marketing provider.
We have always strived to provide innovative solutions for our clients through insight, creativity, technology and delivery.
I would like to thank all our clients for their support and loyalty over the past 25 years.
We know we are nothing without the right people. The team here at Positive has grown steadily and we now have a fantastic team, who continue to deliver.
Here’s to another 25 years!”
To celebrate the 25th anniversary, the whole Positive team were treated to dinner and drinks at a new rooftop restaurant in Wimbledon.
Positive provides the full range of print, direct mail and marketing solutions. All of our services are carried out on site to ensure the highest quality from start to finish.

Whilst ISO 9001 helps improve consistency, efficiency and productivity within organisations.
Both ISO 9001 & ISO 27001 certified organisations are committed to continuous improvement and are assessed annually to ensure progress is being maintained.
Following a successful annual audit, Positive has earned the right to continue to display the coveted British Assessment Bureau ISO 27001 & 9001 certification marks, which demonstrate conformance to the ISO standard.
Danny Sullivan, Managing Director said “We are particularly pleased to be ISO 27001 certified for another year, as it demonstrates that we have the correct processes and controls in place to keep data secure. This is particularly important for our new multichannel service as well as our established direct mail service”.
Just last month Positive also gained FSC® recertification.

Positive has added data-driven multichannel marketing automation to its portfolio of services, in order to provide streamlined solutions for marketing journeys.
The Surrey based firm already offers Web2Print online ordering portals alongside digital, lithographic, large format and direct mail services.
Managing Director, Danny Sullivan said “We are delighted to launch our new multichannel service. The service will enable us to offer complete campaign solutions to our clients, rather than just the print and direct mail elements, which is what they really need”.
Positive’s new service creates highly personalised campaigns that use data to join up and personalise the entire marketing journey, including print, web, email, mobile and even social media.
“Besides being tremendously easy to use, one of the major benefits of the service is that it allows our customers to integrate highly targeted direct mail into their digital strategy.
“We can now offer our customers all the benefits and higher response rates of automated personalised print, which means we can better calculate their return on investment”, Danny said.
With the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into force on 25th May 2018 the timing couldn’t be better.
“Our multichannel service can help organisations re-permission data that doesn’t meet the GDPR standard”, Sullivan said.
Positive, which is set to celebrate its 25th birthday this year, has a turnover of £2m and employs 20 people.
“We’ve been so busy we are now recruiting a New Business Manager to grow our new and exciting multichannel service”, Sullivan added.
