Printing firm chooses Leeds for its Northern base

PRINTING group Pureprint has set up a Leeds office to complement its East Sussex headquarters as it responds to the company’s growth.

The company emplys 375 people and turns over £58m, which has grown quickly in the last five years.

The former managing director of Duffield Print Phil Jones, who spent 18 years rising through the ranks at the Leeds-based firm, has joined Pureprint as general manager of its northern operation.

The office, which will be focused on sales and customer service, is based at Featherbank Court, Horsforth.

Mr Jones said: “Pureprint already has clients in the North and to provide them with the best service and to accelerate growth, a northern base made sense.”
