MD at Zebra Print wins Leader of the Year award  

Zebra Print Group, a family-run print solutions provider, is celebrating after two prestigious wins at the Yorkshire Leadership Awards 2026 by its managing director, Samantha Overton.

Overton picked up both the Leader of the Year and Manufacturing Leader of the Year awards at the ceremony after impressing the judges and succeeding over some of Yorkshire’s most prominent business leaders.

The judges praised Overton’s clear strategic vision, commitment to operational excellence, and passion for nurturing talent within the manufacturing sector.

Zebra Print Group says that under Overton’s leadership the company has gone from “strength to strength” as it has championed British manufacturing but also delivered sustained growth and investment in people, technology, and customer service.

Overton is a second-generation leader who has been inspired by her father, David Storr, who set up Zebra Print Group in 2006. Overton comments: “My dad has always been my biggest inspiration and the reason I’ve grown into the leader I am today. The support he has given me has played a huge role in my journey.”

Speaking of her win, Overton says: “I am incredibly proud to have been named both Leader of the Year and Manufacturing Leader of the Year. It’s a real honour to be recognised alongside so many inspiring leaders across Yorkshire.

“Manufacturing in Yorkshire has such a rich heritage and an exciting future, and I am passionate about playing our part in driving the industry forward.”

Zebra Print Group says that all printing and production is carried out at its premises in the heart of Yorkshire with a range of innovative print technology. Recently Print Monthly spoke to Overton about the volatility of the print market and how to overcome supply chain disruption.
