Leap, an independent creative production agency based in London, has announced it has consolidated it print operations following the decommissioning of its Woolwich print facility after investing in new technologies.
The company which specialises in marketing for printed and digital marketing campaigns, says that by bringing operations into its central Clerkenwell facility it can improve operational efficiency and expand in-house capabilities.
Leap’s website says the business has three hubs; leap Clerkenwell, leap Woolwich (now decommissioned), and leap Create in Chichester, West Sussex. By centralising its London operations, the business says it has a more connected environment which allows creative and operational teams to work more closely together.
The consolidation comes off the back of new investment in print technology which has been purchased to replace older machinery. The new technology opens the doors to new possibilities within finishing, embellishment, foiling, and digital die-cutting.

Neil Essam, head of operations at leap, explains: “Campaign delivery has changed significantly over the past few years. Timelines are shorter, production demands move faster, and clients need partners who can respond quickly when priorities shift. Bringing our print operations together into one environment allows us to simplify workflows, improve collaboration between teams, and create a more connected and cost-effective process for clients.”
Speaking about the consolidation, Essam adds: “This move was about creating an operational setup that reflects the needs of our clients and the pace modern marketing demands. We wanted a setup that gives our teams closer access to each other, improves the way work moves through production, and strengthens the specialist support we can offer clients.”
The print industry has long focused on two ends of the spectrum: high-spec digital presses at one extreme, and office MFPs at the other. But the real growth, and arguably the real innovation, is happening in between
