What DM Print does

DM Print Limited (trading as Doing More Print, or DMP) is a UK-based direct mail, data, and printing company headquartered in Keighley, West Yorkshire, operating from a single facility at Digital House, Royd Way (BD21 3LG). Founded in 1950, the company has built a 70+ year practice in end-to-end direct marketing, with a service portfolio spanning data services (processing, cleansing, database management, and insights), in-house creative design, litho and digital printing, print personalisation via variable data technology, envelope enclosing, polywrapping and paper wrapping, door drops, fulfilment, storage and distribution, returns management, postage advisory, and VAT advice. Its production base includes Konica Minolta C6085 colour digital presses, BizHub PRESS 1250 mono laser presses, BizHub PRESS 2250P, and Heidelberg die-cutting equipment, and it is a Royal Mail Mailmark-accredited Digital Stamp producer.

The company operates three brands: the core DMP service business, Hello Market (a self-serve online direct mail platform launched in 2016/2018, offering web-based design tools, data drop-ins, and a 4-million+ stock image library), and Hello Raffle (a specialised prize draw and raffle mailer format launched in 2019). Its customer base is B2B-only — it explicitly does not serve sole traders or individuals — spanning charities and fundraisers, financial services, ecommerce and mail order, membership organisations, public sector, automotive, publishing, retail, education, election mailings, and theatre and arts. Named logos include YBS, NHS, Shell, Royal Bank of Scotland, Oxfam, British Airways, BT, Sue Ryder's Manorlands Hospice, St Giles Hospice, Book Aid International, and Save the Children.

DM Print generates revenue across five streams: print production services (litho and digital), end-to-end direct mail campaign management, data services billed as professional services, fulfilment and pick-pack services, and self-serve online services via Hello Market. Pricing is overwhelmingly quote-based (no public pricing disclosed), with transactional billing on Hello Market. The company is independently owned, led by Managing Director Tony Kemp and Chief of Operations Stephen Porter, with no evidence of institutional investment. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct B2B sales with a quote-request funnel, product-led growth via Hello Market, and event-driven outreach at sector conferences (e.g., the Hospice Lotteries Association annual conference).

Broad incumbents

• Communisis: One of the largest UK print, marketing services and communications providers, serving many of the same enterprise verticals as DM Print (financial services, retail, public sector). Operates as a broad incumbent with significantly larger scale and multi-channel marketing capabilities beyond direct mail.
• Cimpress (Vistaprint): Global web-to-print and marketing products platform serving small businesses with custom print, signage and direct mail. A much larger incumbent in the online printing space, with overlapping capabilities in personalised direct mail and variable data print.
• St Ives Group (now DRG): Historically one of the UK's largest print and marketing services groups, with operations spanning direct mail, data and customer communications. A broad incumbent with overlapping services but at materially larger scale and broader media portfolio.

Direct peers

• Lob: US-based API-driven direct mail automation platform enabling developers and marketers to send personalised mail programmatically. Closest international peer to the Hello Market platform concept — a tech-led, self-serve, variable-data direct mail business model.
• Pureprint Group: UK commercial printer offering litho and digital print, finishing and direct mail services. Comparable in service portfolio (high-quality print, finishing, mailing) and target market, though typically focused on premium publishing and brand work rather than SMB self-serve.
• CFH Docmail (Docmail): UK-based hybrid mail and direct mail provider combining online self-serve platform with print and mail production. Closest direct peer to DM Print, with overlapping product mix (litho/digital print, personalised mail, online ordering) and similar customer focus on SMBs through enterprise.

Others

• Royal Mail Marketreach: Royal Mail's direct mail marketing division that promotes the use of mail to advertisers and runs industry campaigns. Not a competitor, but an ecosystem partner whose Mailmark infrastructure DM Print depends on for stamp-on-mail and postage services.

Regional players

• IPIA member firms (e.g. Stephens & George, Dennis Waring): Independent UK commercial printers and direct mail producers operating through the same Independent Print Industries Association trade body as DM Print. Comparable in service portfolio and UK-focused customer base, though typically larger or more specialised in publishing, retail or transactional print.
