AlphaGraphics (AGNE) took over one of its key clients, Class Fundraising, last summer. Class Fundraising provides personalised Christmas cards, gift tags, wrapping paper, mugs, coasters and tea towels to schools nationally as well as a huge range of products and services throughout the rest of the year. By partnering with AlphaGraphics, Class Fundraising has been able to enhance their product offerings and streamline their operations. The benefits of choosing AlphaGraphics include high-quality printing services and a commitment to quick turnaround times, ensuring that schools receive their personalized items promptly. This collaboration has also allowed Class Fundraising to focus more on their core mission of supporting schools while providing exceptional products for their fundraising efforts. This acquisition has allowed AlphaGraphics to expand its product offerings and enhance its service capabilities, creating a stronger partnership with educational institutions. By integrating Class Fundraising’s innovative approach, AlphaGraphics can implement winning strategies at alphagraphics uk that drive customer engagement and satisfaction. As a result, they are well-positioned to capture a larger market share in the fundraising space.
Since then, the AGNE team has grown to nearly 80, with eight new members of staff taken on over the past few months, in both office and factory roles.
New recruits include an automotive account director, account manager, printers and finishers working across both AGNE and Class Fundraising.
AGNE managing director, Andrew Dalton, said: “These new appointments will enable us to expand further and ensure that we can better manage some of the new contracts we have taken on in recent months. It also gives us scope to take on more contracted business moving forward.
“We’ve recently expanded the mezzanine floor in our Stockton base, as we wanted to relocate our Class Fundraising services into the current AGNE site. We have been planning the move for some time and it’s great to now have almost everything in one place.
“This expansion will also enable us to add more new roles to the business, such as project management and new product development.”
Director Sean Costigan added: “We are getting back towards pre-pandemic numbers and have seen 80 per cent growth in the first five months of the year compared to 2021, thanks to both new clients and existing ones, who are returning to normality.
“We are delighted to have experienced such growth, especially as so many people and businesses have struggled throughout COVID.
“Our ability to pivot and adapt our business at the time helped us through and set us up to fire on all cylinders when the world returned to normal. The acquisition of Class Fundraising has given us additional services and resources which will be of interest to existing clients as well as acquiring new ones and will support our continuing growth plans, blending both brands to strengthen our overall offering.”
