Thinkpad is a trusted family-run printing firm specialising in on-demand quality print. No job is too small or too big as we cater for international corporates running large integrated campaigns across multiple departments, right through to individuals working on one-off bespoke projects.
We are expert printers and can print on anything, in any quantity, to tight deadlines.
We take the time to understand you, your business and every last detail of your print and design requirements, offering attentive customer service, razor-sharp attention to detail and imaginative marketing creations. Commercial and private clients alike trust us to help deliver their key messages with compelling print and digital marketing solutions.
We provide a total print service from pre-press artwork checks, digital printing, litho printing, large format printing, foil blocking, embossing, cutting and creasing as well as a comprehensive range of print finishes. Clients are not restricted to printing on paper either – where your branding appears is limited only by your imagination. We love a creative project, so put us to the test.
Founder and MD, Dennis set up the Thinkpad in September 2010 with eldest son, Lee Webb, and was quickly joined by youngest son, Frank. This was the start of a family-run business built on a lifetime’s experience in print and presentation graphics. His work as a Cartographer in the oil exploration industry gave Dennis a real eye for detail, which he has carried throughout his career and taught him how to run a successful business.

I have used the services of the Thinkpad Group since late 2013 and have always found them extremely professional. Their standard of work, from printing simple fliers and business cards through to A5 and A4 magazines has been excellent. I have also used them for promotional and exhibition items and cannot fault them on price, customers service and attention to detail – and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend them without any hesitation.
