Print, Packaging & Signage Recruitment
What do we do?
We keep it simple; just like our name.
We match talent with opportunity across the print, packaging and signage sectors.
Our Ethos
Recruitment is not rocket science. It is about doing the basics well, keeping your promises and staying consistent. That is what we focus on.
We treat people how we would want to be treated. Straightforward. Reliable. No jargon. No hard sell.
If that sounds like a recruitment partnership you're after, then you're in the right place. You can read what our actual clients and candidates say about us here.
Why We’re Different
We keep it simple. Do what you say you’ll do and treat people properly.
Whether you’re hiring or job hunting, you want someone who knows the space, cuts the noise and gets things done.
No chasing. No spin. Just straight answers, solid advice and consistent follow-through.
We don’t just recruit in print, packaging and signage. We’re part of it. From mentoring to judging and backing industry events, we stay involved because it matters.
That’s how we work. And it works.
Let’s help you get to where you want to be, quicker

Hiring?
Hiring in print, packaging or signage?
We help print, packaging and signage businesses find their unicorns.
The rare people with the right experience, mindset and cultural fit. The ones not scrolling job boards. They are hard to find and too important to get wrong.
You could post a job and pray. That only scratches the surface and probably the first people, not the right people. With 15 years in the print, packaging & signage industry, this is where we come in.
We learn your business, understand the brief and deliver a solution that fits.
Getting to know you:
It starts with a visit. If we haven’t seen your setup, met some of your team, how can we represent you in the industry?
After a tour and a brew, we ask the right questions and challenge the answers. What you want, need and would like are often different. We’ll help you define all three to find the perfect fit.
Different situations, different solutions
Not every role needs the same approach. Treating them the same is where most recruitment goes wrong. Here's how we adapt what we do to fit what you need.
You’re not in a rush
You’re not hiring today. But if someone excellent came along, you’d want to hear about them. That’s smart. It’s proactive. You’re building ahead, not reacting under pressure.
This is where a low-key, ongoing approach works best. We keep our ears to the ground. We keep in touch. We bring you only the right profiles. No noise. No urgency. Just consistent, informed conversations that surface the right person at the right time.
It’s an ideal setup when the cost of getting it wrong is just as high as the cost of waiting. No pressure to move before you're ready, but with a clear advantage when the right fit does appear.
You need someone now
Maybe someone’s just left. Maybe demand has spiked. Or maybe your team’s simply stretched. Either way, time matters. But so does getting it right.
You can’t afford to lose time with the wrong hire. So we treat it like a priority. We ask for a £500 commitment fee, deducted from your final invoice. That tells us you’re serious. In return, we act quickly. We focus sharply. We engage the market properly.
You get structure. You get urgency. You get quality. Without the scattergun approach or endless waiting.
You need to keep it quiet
Some hires are sensitive. Succession planning. Restructures. Replacing someone who doesn’t know they’re being replaced. These situations need control. Discretion. Complete trust.
We approach these searches with care. No public job ads. No unnecessary noise. Just direct, private contact with the right people. It’s a different type of search. We handle it through our executive search service, where confidentiality and credibility are everything.
This work requires more up-front investment. But the process is deeper. More precise. Done properly, it’s the difference between disruption and a smooth transition.
Time to deliver
Once we have agreed on the level of involvement and created the brief, we get to work.
Each profile/person comes with context. Why we’re recommending them, how they align with your brief, and key points to consider.
You’ll be informed and in control. Always.
Want to be Hired?
All of our clients are in or around the print, packaging, and signage industries. We’ve known these spaces for over 15 years. You’re in safe hands.
Looking for a new job is life-changing. It’s not just about you; you’ve got other things to consider too; Commutes, hybrid work options, and who’s looking after the kids, dogs, or goldfish while you’re at work?
If you’re feeling a bit fed up and wondering if a new opportunity might be the answer, we’re here to make sure the risk of moving jobs is worth the reward.Let’s Get to Know You
This is where we come in. We want to really understand you, not just what’s on your CV.
- What’s your life like outside of work?
- Who will this job change impact?
- Are you just after a pay rise? (There are quicker ways to do that than job hunting!)
- What are you good at? What are you not so good at?
- What do you like? What don’t you like? What would you like to like?
- What are your aspirations?
- And of course, what salary do you want, need, and expect? (Spoiler alert: those are usually three different numbers!)
We ask the questions and then we question the answers.
The Result?
By the end of our conversation, you’ll either feel like:

"I’m actually alright where I am."

"Let’s go for it!"
What We Offer
The opportunities we offer are all within the print, packaging, and signage space. They could be in print management, manufacturing, design agencies, suppliers, or event & exhibition companies. everything is tied to the industry.
