Company details

  1. Digital Printing Service

Information provided by various external sources

Newman Thomson was first established in 1973 by Chris Newman and John Thomson as a partnership specialising in copywriting and advertising. Incorporation followed in 1976 when the emphasis changed towards production as well as printing. In 2000 the premises were outgrown in Brighton, resulting in relocation to the current 25,000 sq. ft. factory in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, making Newman Thomson one of the largest printers in Mid-Sussex. The company now offers a 24 hour production cycle through the use of lithographic and digital machinery capable of offering more or less every print service you could imagine, from graphic design to our on-site finishing services including binding, embossing and laminating. We can offer a wide range of printed materials including promotional folders, business cards, stationery, large format print and brochures.

Excellent quality and first class customer service

Newman Thomson print a quarterly magazine for my organisation and I am delighted with the quality of the product and the service they provide. They are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I've worked in marketing all my life and dealt with many different printers. Newman Thomson are a pleasure to work with and they go out of their way to understand the customers' requirements and work hard to meet their needs.

Good afternoon Paul,

Whilst we accept that there was issues with the delivery (whilst we are responsible for who delivers the product, we can't control what happens at the delivery point) we did offer to reprint the whole job, which you refused so we discounted the price for you. We had also suggested that as delivery could be problematic, that someone was there to receive the delivery, this didn't happen. This lead to a pallet being left exposed to the rain, which had someone been available to receive the delivery, wouldn't have been the case.

As far as customer service goes, we spent time discussing digital marketing strategy and writing a report for you, we tried at length to help with your pre-press set up as well. This would suggest our staff aren't useless as you put it. Swearing down the phone at staff probably wasn't going to get the best out of them either.

You also expected us to fund your attendance of franchise exhibitions so you could sell more magazine franchises on the basis we would print the work, despite you having complained about the quality of the print on previous issues. This was never something which had been discussed, and something we would never offer to do.

I think it's probably fair to say, that from our other reviews, people don't seem to have an issue with the service, or quality of our work, and whilst mistakes happen, we always do our best to rectify them, as we did with you.

Best Regards,

James

Reccomendation from ElectricFarm.co.uk

I have been placing print contracts with Newman Thomson ranging from small stationery items to large run litho for more years than I care to remember and have always been impressed with their professionalism and customer care. Print quality has been exemplary and on the few few occasions when I felt the need to query a delivery, matters were amicably sorted very quickly. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for timely and cost effective print.
