A Caerphilly business which specialises in the manufacturing and fitting of a range of signs, displays and vehicle graphics is celebrating its ongoing expansion.

Print Sauce Ltd was set up in January 2010 by Gary Bagstaff and his business partner Matthew Bullough, after they were both made redundant from their previous jobs. The business, formed during the height of the recession and with no capital investment or existing equipment, initially began trading from a friend’s garage in Newport.

 

The business soon began to grow, and within a few months they had moved to a new premises in Capital Business Park, Cardiff, where they shared the premises with another company.

After four years sharing this unit, they once more outgrew the facility and decided to take their own unit within Caerphilly Business Park. Year on year, the business has steadily grown, but the last year in particular has seen Print Sauce Ltd really develop.

The business, which actively looks to work with larger companies and has customers including Warner Bros, Peters Foods, Tenovus, Ty Hafan, Wales Air Ambulance, Cardiff University, Cardiff Met and University of South Wales, now has seven staff members and has seen its turnover rise by a huge 75%.

In the latest development, Print Sauce Ltd has now taken on a second unit on the same estate, giving them three times the available space.

Gary Bagstaff says:

We pride ourselves on the range of products we offer, the quality control process we have in place and the fact that we are constantly looking for new materials and methods to ensure our customers get the products most suited to their needs and budget.

Both our units on Caerphilly Business Park are provided by Caerphilly County Borough Council and we really appreciate all the help we have received, particularly from Cath Lewis within the Industrial Property Team.

Cabinet Member, Cllr Ken James added:

It is great to see the team at Print Sauce Ltd going from strength to strength. It cannot have been easy at times, but with a 75% increase in turnover the team have demonstrated what can be achieved, despite difficult financial times. We’re delighted they have chosen to make Caerphilly their home and that our officers have been able to offer some support and advice to Gary, Matthew and the team.
