“Our aim from the outset was to offer a great product and service, but most importantly to save our customers money without sacrificing on quality.”
Martyn Kilford – Handy Brand Founder
HOW IT ALL STARTED
The reason Handy Brand was born.
Handy Brand was born in 2007 by a couple of design and print-loving individuals after realising there was a gap in the market printing labels, stickers & tags in small to medium quantities. Very few label printing companies offered a good selection of shapes, sizes and materials to instantly buy online at competitive prices. This is where we came in and have been ever since going from strength to strength.
OUR TEAM
Martyn
CEO
Martyn, without a doubt, is the foundation of the company. With over 25 years of experience gained in the design and printing industry, he’s a fountain of knowledge. Martyn is an accomplished graphic designer too, and he’s worked with many major brand owners over the course of his career. When it comes to job planning, attention to detail, and efficient work, Martyn ticks all the boxes. He still likes to get his hands dirty and will often be found in the print room running the printing machines when he’s allowed 🙂
