Bath and North East Somerset Council have an in house print service that currently meets the majority of our printing requirements. However, this service will close in May 2019 and therefore there will be a requirement to source our printing services entirely from external contractors moving forward.

We have 9 in house graphic designers who be your main point of contact and will oversee each print job from start to finish. UWE Bristol have their own in-house printing service covering all its digital printing and finishing requirements. It has a team of print experts who procure all other print work, placing with appropriate suppliers based on quality, timely delivery and value for money. UWE have a need to contract with B2 Litho printers who can provide work to a very high standard that enhances our reputation.
