CREATIVE THINKING
Further investment at Acorn
Swindon firm Acorn Press has continued to invest in its future spending over £ 200,000 on new state-of-the-art kit .
They have replaced an aging guillotine with a new specialist cutting system that will accurately measure pallet weights and paper quantities and electronically preload job information , giving increased productivity .
In addition , the new Cut Manager software will allow management to analyse performance and see exactly how long each job has taken . This is useful for tracking work , but it will also enable the business to accurately monitor profitability .
Patrick Crouch , managing director of Acorn Press said : “ By investing in Compucut and Cut Manager we will be ready for increased demand for automation and electronic assistance . We needed a more efficient and reliable cutting facility . This equipment , which will run around the clock , will give us increased efficiency but we ’ ll still want to have the best and most reliable operators to run it .”
Acorn Press employs 50 staff and over half of them have been with the company for more than ten years . They offer litho , digital and large format printing and their aim is to bring design , campaigns , colour and print to life for its customers .
Alongside the investment in the new tech , they have also invested in their people , employing two new recruits . Dave Bulfield has joined as senior account manager and Jenny Eagle as new account director .
“ We ’ re delighted that Jenny and Dave have joined the team !” said Mark Clarke , Sales Director . “ We ’ re always trying to attract the best and most experienced individuals and these two certainly fit the bill !”
Director Ross Peart added : “ It ’ s an exciting time for Acorn , we ’ ve seen a period of sustained growth and we look forward to continuing this trend throughout 2018 .”
