Cliftons, which has been in operation for more than 20 years, made the tough decision to close its doors in 2021, due to the effects of the pandemic and a number of other contributory factors. But now the company has been given a new lease of life, after moving its trade finishing arm to Precision Proco Group’s Dagenham base, which will also benefit the group’s digital print platform, WTTB, which is planning to unveil its book super centre in the near future. Gary Peeling, Chief Executive of Precision Proco Group, believes that bringing Cliftons’ expertise into the Dagenham plant aligns perfectly with the company’s plans to grow the book printing offering. Clifton Bookbinders’ Managing Director, Tim Clifton, said the company had a long relationship with Precision Proco Group so it was a good move for everyone. www.precisionprocogroup.co.uk (l-r) Gary Peeling, CEO of Precision Proco Group and Tim Clifton, MD of Clifton Bookbinders 01732 759725 6 SEE THE 2022 CATEGORIES SEE PAGE 22
