Venture Banners was started in January 2009 with the clear mission of making large format print available to the jobbing printer, enabling him to add this lucrative market to his existing portfolio of services.
With large-format machines costing upwards of half a million pounds, a print partner was needed and in the same way a telecoms company will negotiate with BT based on the promise of volume Scott and Wayne did the same with the UK’s premier large-format printers.
Starting out from an office in Scott’s garage it was only a matter of months before additional staff and a proper office environment was required. In November 2009 the now team of five moved into a very nice office in Chelmsford. As the business grew, so did the team and it was only another eighteen months before there were nine people handling a business turnover of close to a million pounds.
Six months of pure stress and massive expense followed as finance, premises, staff and equipment were sought and a production facility capable of massive volumes was created, literally from scratch.
Today, the recipe Venture started with still holds true, excellent service and a superb product you can make a tidy profit on. There are now multiple machines and twenty two people from production staff to web developers who are dedicated to working in the background to give all printers the opportunity to benefit our economies of scale to build a large-format revenue-stream.
We ordered an Impact Hop Up and Counta Stand to promote our services at a local exhibition and we looked the business! The products are great quality and so easy to assemble! Thank you for quick turnaround too!
I can't praise the team at Venture Banners too much. When we first started to place orders with them we were placing multiple orders on behalf of one of our more demanding clients. Nothing was too much trouble for Jackie and all the team at Venture Banners. They went out of their way to help us in many ways. Our client is delighted with the results and has committed to placing more orders with us. Needless to say, these orders will be placed with Venture Banners.
Just wanted to say thank you for supplying the 2 x19 meter mesh banners. Customer is happy, and so are we. I think your web site is great, easy to use, and being able to track the order through production is invaluable, we will be back!
We've received the combo stand and we've put it up in our studio to give it 'the once over'. I just wanted to say that it looks great! And I also wanted to thank you for your excellent customer service and fab studio service from Evie. To be honest, we were a little nervous about placing the order as the only review of your company online was very negative.... So glad we gave you the benefit of the doubt and went with you though so thanks again for a top job! If there is any review portal you would like us to leave some feedback, give me a link, we'd be more than happy to say some nice things :-)
Well may I just thank you all, It really means a lot, I know we don't put thousands of pounds your way in business but you have really have made us feel like a valuable customer. I was already a massive fan of yours, this is just the icing on the cake... Many thanks Amazingly happy customer
All arrived safely and ready for delivery to my client tomorrow. Thank you for you help with this - problems occasionally happen and the mark of a good company is how well they deal with them, which in your case base been exceptionally well.
To all at Venture Banners, I just felt I had to say thank you for your fantastic service my banner arrived this morning and I am very pleased with the whole process from my initial enquiry to the finished product. I look forward to future business as I am confident to offer your wide format products to my customers.
I want to put in writing how hugely impressed I am with your service - we have just had our customer thank us very much for the speed and advice, as well as commenting on the high quality of the print. This is, of course, thanks to your team! It does not go unnoticed how willing you always are to bend over backwards in response to urgent orders. We are also hugely grateful for your attention to detail, often noticing errors or inaccuracies that we have missed! We take a similar approach to our own customer service and it is very refreshing to find a supplier who is so closely aligned with our values and appreciation of quality, personal customer service. THANK YOU once again and here's to a long and prosperous partnership between us!
Client was over the moon with the finished results, as mentioned we were asked to go in and rectify a previous suppliers errors after they had used a whole host of materials that were just wrong for the job.. had the print from yourselves in super fast time, which meant we could get all sorted and back to normal for the client without disruption to their business - (sign was removed, stripped, cleaned and re-laid overnight with the installation the following morning before opening) the result - we have just become supplier of choice for them, landed a whole load more of design work and they appear to be telling everyone about us.. advertising I couldn't pay for!So a huge thank you for helping get this sorted and turning the print around so quickly for me - it just proves that if you use quality products and know what you're doing you can get right, first time!
Just wanted to say thank you for all the help the people who work there put into helping a customer
We received the banners earlier today and they are with the client now. They are extremely happy with the banners! So thank you very much to your team there for helping us on this (not so easy, rushed) job! Its much appreciated :)
Just wanted to say a BIG Thank You for your understanding and service. Great service.!It was a pleasure dealing with your company.I am considering offering this service to my customers. Up to now we used to turn down any enquiries.May be if I put one roller banner in the shop displaying the product, may bring in new orders.
