Small-town boy apologises

Butler, Tanner & Dennis moves into fine arts market
Tim Sheahan, printweek.com, 26 January 2010
Colour book printer Butler Tanner & Dennis (BT&D) has launched a Fine Arts Service in a bid to attract clients that require books, catalogues and art-related prints.
With the launch of its latest service, the Frome, Somerset-based company has also taken on four new staff for the division: Bobby Abbott, Steve Rose, Alex Gumn and Justin Seviour.

BT&D managing director Kevin Sarney said the launch of a fine arts division had always been "an ambition" for the company.

"We are thrilled to be able to acquire such a skilled team who have worked in this sector for many years and will allow us to expand our offering to our clients and attract a new portfolio of business," he said.

The latest expansion to the BT&D remit follows on from the launch of its New Deal print-on-demand service in October last year, which was designed to cut the turnaround times of its corporate materials, such as annual reports.

"With the New Deal launch last year and now our fine arts division, Butler Tanner & Dennis is truly bringing an unrivalled range of printing services to the market," Sarney added.

When I described Julian’s Printer as small town, I had no idea that the firm above, who printed Postcard from Provence are the well- known Printers of Fine Arts..
The firm is a well-respected printer and to think that they operate from a small town in Somerset is wonderful and amazed me. The pictures printed of Julian’s lovely paintings are beautiful and will, I hope, grace many a home of art lovers. Bill Bryson wrote a book called Tales or Notes from a Small Island. In fact the ‘Small Island’ (Great Britain)is one of the most important and beautiful Islands in the world.
