‘Band gets back together’ as Wiltshire print firms merge
Wiltshire print firms Corsham Print and Kennet Print have announced their merger.
Neil Mortimer, formerly of Kennet Print, joins as a director alongside Chris Perry and David Kilmurray in the merged company.
The merger combines two established local print companies, expanding the range of print services available to businesses across Wiltshire and the South West.
“This merger brings together the best of both companies,” said director Chris Perry.
“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.”
The merged company’s production will operate from a 350 square metre facility at Leafield Industrial Estate in Corsham, offering comprehensive print, design, packaging, and mailing services.
Clients can choose delivery or collection from there or a convenient Hopton Industrial Estate collection point. The company is FSC-certified and committed to sustainable, low-energy production.
“I’m delighted to join forces with Corsham Print,” said Neil Mortimer. “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 also have a collection point on Hopton Industrial Estate in Devizes for clients who prefer to pick up their jobs.”
All Kennet Print clients will continue to work with Neil Mortimer as their primary contact, with seamless continuity of service and access to the combined capabilities of both companies.
Kennet Sign & Display remains a separate business under Nathan Tunnbridge’s leadership, but with a strategic partnership with Corsham Print for signage and display requirements.
“This feels like we’re getting the band back together’ say Chris. They all worked together back in the 90’s for Corsham-based printer Addkey Print.
