Tech specialist scoops contracts with global publishing giants

Paul Somerville

Squaremoons Publishing Solutions, a West Yorkshire-based technology company, has secured renewed contracts with two market-leading publishing specialists – and the opportunity to acquire several new clients.

The business has confirmed that London-based publishing giants, Toppan Merrill and Black & Callow, have renewed 12-month contracts with Squaremoons for its publishing software.

The software, also used by print management companies, design agencies and newspapers, enables documents and content to be created with greater control and compliance – no matter the amount of alterations and changes which are commonplace in publishing.

It means the outcome is greater accuracy of content and improved speed to market.

Founded by Paul Somerville and Andrew Munt in 2017, Squaremoons work with a variety of clients across the UK as well as overseas in places such as Hong Kong and France.

Somerville said: “Contract renewal is important in any year, but it’s been even more welcome in 2020 which has challenged us all.

“Toppan Merrill and Black & Callow are leaders in the financial publishing and regulatory communications fields and are absolutely at the top of their game.

“To continue to provide solutions to help them succeed is a testament to the products we’ve created.”

Squaremoons is also in advanced discussions with several other organisations, which would set it up well for a successful 2021.

Munt added: “We’re in the final stretch of conversations with several large London-based printing groups as well as a well-known manufacturing and transport multinational.

“It’s really exciting for us, and I can’t wait to be in the position to say who exactly they are.”

He and Somerville stressed they still recognise the value of also working with local companies, which is helping them grow as well as diversify into new markets.

Recently they worked with a Brighouse fulfilment company to build its new hybrid mail software.

Somerville said: “Although this latest update is all about large organisations based primarily in London and overseas, we do recognise the support our local clients give us.

“They gave us a start and a footing in the industry, for which we’ll always be thankful.”
