Booming creative design and display company has the ‘edge’ in food retail industry
A Yorkshire creative design and display company has doubled its team to over 40 in the year that sees turnover increase by 133%.
After just seven years in business, Leading Edge, whose clients include fast food giant McDonalds and Soreen, is optimising its progression with a Regional Growth Fund boost enabling the purchase of a state-of-the-art printer, new fabrication equipment and a five-vehicle addition to its installation fleet, bringing a total investment of £200,000 in the last six months.
Led by founder and managing director Matthew Evans, the team reported turnover of £1.5million in 2014 and has grown from a staff of four in 2008 to a 40-strong team today. New roles created in 2015 include fabricators, drivers, printers and fitters.
The new resources and expanded team has brought Leading Edge, which specialises in designing and producing display and graphics for food retail outlets and their offices, its widest ever national client base.
Matthew said: “From our West Yorkshire base, we are now independently delivering on food retail contracts across the whole of the UK, including Northern Ireland.
“Our new super-wide printer produces graphics up to 3.2 metres wide and has a dual print facility which means we can produce more high impact, high quality artwork, faster than ever before.
“Clients are increasingly looking for striking and eye-catching imagery to make their premises stand out from the crowd. Establishing the right ambience is essential when creating a memorable customer experience. It encourages return visits and repeat spend. Our on-site technology and expertise can produce complete wall coverings in one continuous panel, with the logistics team to guarantee fast delivery and efficient installation.
“Often contracts have to be delivered alongside other suppliers to strict deadlines and our new facilities give us the flexibility and speed needed to meet these deadlines, with our biggest ever team to fulfil on distribution and fitting.”
He added: “Our investment in new equipment continues our policy of keeping our services in house which continues full autonomy on every client project. It opens up new ways we can create vibrant and creative artwork for our clients and is helping us win previously out of reach contracts on a national scale.”
Leading Edge design and produce signage and display graphics including exhibition and vehicle graphics, branding and marketing literature.
