What Mtprint does

MT Print (legally Mawers Limited) is a privately held, Darlington-based commercial printing company founded in 1911, operating from North Park House on Whessoe Road and serving businesses, healthcare organisations, sports clubs, educational institutions, charities and cultural venues across the North East of England. The company is owned by Phil Evans and Phil Harburn, who acquired it in 2011, and operates with 1–10 employees under a quote-based, direct sales engagement model reached via phone, email and website enquiry.

The company's production capability centres on a full Heidelberg lithographic suite for high-volume, luxury-finish print, complemented by Ricoh digital printers for short-run and quick-turnaround work, wide format equipment for wall coverings, floor stickers, exhibition displays and window/frosted graphics, and an in-house finishing stack that includes wiro binding, laminating, booklet making and perfect binding. Service lines extend beyond production into in-house design and end-to-end project management from concept through to installation, plus a Royal Mail-approved mail fulfillment offering that bundles printing with machine collation, folding, envelope insertion, personalisation, data cleansing and Mailsort under exclusive postage discounts.

MT Print monetises on a project-by-project quote basis across litho/digital print, large format print, exhibition displays, mail fulfillment and design services, with no disclosed pricing, subscription or e-commerce component. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Customer engagement is direct and relationship-led, supplemented by content marketing through the company blog, social media presence, and an ongoing regional sponsorship of Darlington Mowden Park Rugby Club. The firm also participates in Premier Paper's Carbon Capture program, channelling funds to the Woodland Trust as a sustainability differentiator in a relationship-driven regional market.

Emerging players

• Printed.com: UK online-first commercial printing platform offering business stationery, marketing materials, and signage with self-serve ordering. Adjacent competitor serving overlapping product categories (business cards, flyers, posters) but with a fundamentally different online-only GTM model.

Direct peers

• Moo: UK-headquartered premium print company specialising in business cards, marketing materials, and branded stationery. Comparable as a UK-based commercial printer serving SMBs with business cards, flyers, and stationery - core MT Print categories.
• The Mailing Room: UK direct mail and print fulfilment provider offering mailing house services, data processing, and printed mail production. Comparable to MT Print's Royal Mail-approved mail fulfillment service line and similar target market of SMBs running direct mail campaigns.
• Pureprint Group: UK-based commercial printing group offering litho, digital, and large format services to brand owners and publishers. Comparable as a UK full-service commercial printer with similar B2B customer focus, though operating at larger national scale.
• Solopress: UK commercial printing company offering litho and digital printing of business stationery, marketing materials, and signage. Directly comparable in product range (brochures, flyers, banners), though with an online-first ordering model versus MT Print's quote-based approach.
• Venture Banners: UK large format printing specialist producing banners, exhibition displays, signage, and event graphics. Directly comparable to MT Print's large format and exhibition display service line, particularly for roller banners, pop-up displays, and exhibition stands.

Regional players

• Kall Kwik: UK franchise network of local print and design centres offering business stationery, marketing materials, and document services. Comparable SMB-focused commercial print model, though franchise structure and broader geographic footprint differ from MT Print.
• Impress Print Services: UK regional commercial printer offering digital, litho, and large format printing services to businesses. Comparable product mix but operates in different UK geographies, making it a regional rather than direct head-to-head competitor to MT Print.
