What kpm Group does

KPM Group is a privately held UK print production, mail fulfilment, and media services company founded in 2001 by Nigel Copp and headquartered in a 22,000 sq ft facility in Sevenoaks, Kent. The group operates through two wholly-owned brands — the legacy KPM operations and TMB Mailing, acquired in October 2020 — and employed 42 people as of October 2021. KPM delivers an end-to-end workflow spanning data management, personalisation, digital print production, mail fulfilment, postal optimisation, and storage/pick-and-pack, with notable technical assets including Xerox Versant 4100 and Primelink B9136 presses, high-speed digital inkjet capacity (~1 billion A4 colour impressions per year after 2023 partnership expansion), 120,000–300,000+ units/hour production throughput, 100,000 auto-insertions/day, and bespoke programming systems used for high-volume transactional packs such as council tax statements.

The company serves B2B enterprise and mid-market clients across at least eight verticals — charities and non-profits, financial services, local government, education, leisure and arts, membership organisations, publishing, and retail/ecommerce — with named enterprise customers including a global asset management firm, Goldsmiths University of London, Hemming Group, and Radley Yeldar. Its GTM is sales-led direct engagement with account management, supported by content marketing (blog, gated white papers, webinars, social), Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce membership, and SMP Awards participation. Revenue mechanics are professional services and managed services: quote-based per-job or per-unit pricing with postage cost pass-through, bundled data/print/postal packages, and complimentary Data Health Checks and Postage Audits as lead-generation tools. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, QG GDPR Management Standard, and Cyber Essentials certifications, and is led by CEO Nigel Copp, Managing Director Marian Lively, and Sales Director Steve Morton.
