Commercial printers, Corsham Print and Kennet Print, have announced a merger which combines the companies’ resources, facilities, and expertise
Corsham Print and Kennet Print have announced a merger, bringing together two established Wiltshire commercial print companies into a single entity.
The merger combines the resources, facilities, and expertise of the two companies, with the aim of expanding the range of print services available to businesses across Wiltshire and the South West.
Neil Mortimer, formerly of Kennet Print, joins the merged company as a director alongside Corsham Print’s existing directors, Chris Perry and David Kilmurray.
The trio previously worked together in the 1990s for Corsham based printer, Addkey Print, with Perry noting that “this feels like we’re getting the band back together.”
Perry continues: “This merger brings together the best of both companies. By combining Corsham Print’s 45 years of experience and larger facility with Kennet Print’s specialised expertise and strong client relationships, we can offer significantly enhanced capabilities while maintaining the personal, local service both companies are known for.”
Kennet Sign & Display, the signage arm of Kennet Print, will remain a separate business under current director Nathan Turnnidge’s leadership, while strategically partnering with Corsham Print for its signage and display requirements.
The merged company’s production will operate from a 350sq m facility at Leafield Industrial Estate, Corsham, offering a range of print, design, packaging, and mailing services.
All Kennet Print clients can continue to work with Neil Mortimer as their primary contact, with the aim of providing seamless continuity of service and access to the combined capabilities of both companies.
Mortimer adds: “I’m delighted to join forces with Corsham Print. This merger strengthens what we can offer local businesses – greater capacity, broader services, and enhanced expertise – while keeping production local and personal.
“We’ll continue to deliver jobs as usual, and we will also have a collection point on Hopton Industrial Estate in Devizes for clients who prefer to pick up their jobs.”
