Our History
We are passionate about printing, materials and creativity because we have been involved in the industry for such a long time — our business was founded in 1982 in Hackney, East London, as Martin Dannell & Co Ltd. The Company manufactured a broad range of products and services, including printing, cutting and lamination.
Today
We now operate from a 20,000 sq ft factory in Essex and employ about 30 dedicated staff, most of whom have been with the Company for decades. We are proud to be a British manufacturer and printers.
We operate and sell our printing services from this site Needabanner and our creative materials from www.dannells.com.
The business is today run by Jamie Dannell & David Little, and their staff.
Jamie & David have been with the companies for nearly 40 years and have vast experience in the industry.
