Last year First Colour achieved the coveted Quality Management System ISO9001 accreditation as well as the Environmental Management Standard ISO14001. In the UK less than 10% of printers have both accreditations.

The ISO 9001 system aims to recognise and promote high standards of Company management and is a standard that is recognised around the world as the symbol of a well run and responsible company.

Last Years Milestones……………

First Colour continued to make great progress in 2009 despite the current economic woes.

First Colour acquired a further 3000 sq ft at its W1 – Newman St – print centre

A new five colour Heidelberg press was acquired and installed in the printroom in W1 to work alongside the existing two other Heidelberg presses. The installation included a ‘chemical free’ plate maker which along with our use of vegetable based inks supplied by Heidelberg makes our press room one of the cleanest in London and helped significantly in gaining the environmental ISO14001.

Awarded both ISO9001 - Quality Management and ISO140001 - Environmental Management.

Upgraded our colour digital print operation with the purchase of two Xerox ‘high end’ digital printers. These new digital presses give us much better quality at a faster speed helping us to cope with those ever decreasing deadlines

A bit about us…..

First Colour is a fast response, super fast turnaround, printer based at two locations in Central London. Newman Street in W1 and Tothill Street in SW1.

We print for a wide variety of customers from National Retailers to Government Departments as well as many, many local and small to medium sized companies in and around our centres in Central London.

We are unusual in that we cover both the traditional press ‘litho’ printing sector as well as being one of Central London’s foremost digital print operations. But above all we offer a great service at competitive prices.

First Colour has been established for almost 10 years and in that time we are proud to have built a £2m+ turnover business with around 650 active customers and 18 skilled staff.

Our continued investment into staff and equipment has enabled us to become one of Central London’s most popular and capable business printers.

Our determination to do whatever it takes to deliver your work on time, on spec and on budget remains as strong as the day we started, and we pride ourselves on the working relationships we’ve built with our clients.
