Eckersley Print Group celebrates 50 years
Eckersley Print Group is celebrating half a century in business, marking its
achievements, acquisitions and evolution to become one of the leading print operations in Queensland that it is today.
The successful ISO14001 Enviro-accredited AND
FSC certified business is a recognised innovator in the Queensland printing sphere, and winner of multiple state and national print industry awards for excellence in print.
In 1971, a young and driven man, named James Eckersley, followed his dream to create a printing business of his own. Jannock Press as it was called, is an English word meaning “fair and straight forward”. This initial, defining framework has formed the guiding values for the family company’s identity ever since.
Sales and marketing director, Lea Eckersley said, “Dad patented the mounting of nylo
50 years in print: Eckersley Print Group celebrates
plates onto steel blocks and was an early pioneer in the re-use of these nylo plates for repeat work. This innovative and different way of thinking became a hallmark for the business, before innovation became the buzzword of today.”
Since then Eckersley
Print Group has carved out
a reputation as a quality operation, adding several acquisitions to the business. Today it produces commercial print, sign and display,
office print management, warehousing, logistics, design and publishing services.
Current managing director Tom Eckersley started his print apprenticeship with the company, taking up the role of managing director, eight years later at the age of 25.
As part of the celebration, the organisation held a themed party. 21
