The business, based on Fulton Road, posted a pre-tax profit of £1m for the year ended 30 June 2025, reversing a loss of £1.4m the previous year. Turnover grew 18% to £23.3m, up from £19.7m in 2024, driven largely by increased demand for books, labels and packaging, and promotional products including apparel and gifts.

It is the first time Tradeprint has recorded a profit since 2016. The company employed 167 people during the year, its highest headcount since before the pandemic, with total staff costs rising to £6.16m as wages and salaries increased following rises to the Living Wage and Employer National Insurance contributions.

The firm’s 43,000 sq ft production facility offers a wide range of print and design services, from flyers, leaflets and stationery through to billboard posters, flags and banners, with embroidery services also planned for the near future.

Managing director Charlene Joss said demand for core product lines had remained resilient despite broader market pressures. “The demand for our bestselling small format product lines flyers and leaflets, business stationery and business cards has been steady despite a generic declining trend in the marketplace,” she said, adding that investment in online design tools had helped attract new customers.

Ms Joss credited the turnaround in part to operational discipline and a focus on service reliability. “Our unwavering emphasis on reliability and stability remains fundamental to our success,” she said. “These efforts not only strengthen customer loyalty but also directly contribute to our overall profitability and long-term growth.”

The improved results were also supported by a favourable foreign exchange impact on an intercompany loan of over £900,000 and a profit of £900,000 recorded on the sale of an asset, alongside reduced administrative expenses year-on-year. The company also invested heavily in new printing equipment during the period, including a second Canon iX press to expand digital printing capacity, a Perfect Binder for soft-cover books, and an additional Saddle Stitcher for stapled booklets.

Tradeprint was acquired for more than £20m by Dutch printing group Cimpress in 2015 and merged with sister company Exaprint in July 2017. In 2022, it absorbed the majority of staff from rival Dundee firm Tayprint following that company’s administration. It remains the only UK-based manufacturer within the Cimpress Group and a key part of its UK supply chain.

Looking ahead, Ms Joss said a new company website is due to go live in early 2026, culminating two years of development, and that the business anticipates continued strong year-on-year growth.
