Stuart Nimmo (HAD-Print\u2019s lead), back in 2005 was recognised by the British Printing Industries Federation for an annual impact report, and previously in 1998 by Citizens Advise Network for a local annual report for Stratford Upon Avon CAB. He\u2019s also created highly acclaimed manuals and training resources throughout the 2010\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do others say<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly most of our work comes by referral. Those who know what we do, appreciate us and recognise us accordingly. A good friend of the business Mark Evans (previously of Better Telecoms) famously said, \u201cIt\u2019s not the story you tell, but the Story others tell of you\u201d or as we paraphrase \u201cWhat\u2019s the Story Morning Glory\u201d. Needless to say, Mark happily sings our praises like many others on Linkedin. Equally, our review profile on the search sites backs this up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education and training<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an industry which has seen significant change, this still plays a part. Stuart Nimmo (HAD-Print\u2019s lead), had a pretty unique rounded education in the graphic arts, starting with a National Diploma in Graphic Design (Coventry Technical College). Moving on to a Higher National Diploma in Design Print Management (Northampton University), where he discovered a wider understanding of the graphic arts industry. He has also completed City &amp; Guild Level 3 in photography (Coventry Technical College) \u2013 making his eye for detail rather refined. Stuart Nimmo also attends industry conferences like the IPIA\u2019s and <a href=\"https:\/\/visualmediaconference.com\">Visual Media Conference<\/a> (VMC), along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilsonsrepublic.com\">Wilsons Republic <\/a>events in Huddersfield. However, as a business, HAD-Print has also provided training and development to our staff, one being Stuart Boddy who has progressed in garment decoration and has attended courses on the technicalities of industrial embroidery production. The production team also attends industry events for additional learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visual evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are more than industry experts, we produce and have our production facility covering sheet-fed digital print for marketing collateral, books and a lot more. Large format graphics capabilities and garment print and embroidery. All of this is clearly seen in real-world photographs on social media. There is a big difference between agencies\/brokers and real-world print production houses. As a producer, we have full supply chain support from paper merchants, garment wholesale distribution channels and a lot more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get to know us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot beat meeting people face-to-face to learn more. Unpacking how we think will help you understand more about what we do. As they say, seeing is believing and a lot of people who come in to see us, always discover more. Whether it is by getting touchy-feely with samples or discovering different finishes or techniques of what we can produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you were heading to the Cheltenham Gold Cup, you\u2019d of researched your horses and riders thoroughly knowing where you\u2019d place your bets.
