Solo Group

What Solo Group does

Solo Group, trading as AMS (GB) Ltd (registered in England & Wales, company number 04644736), is a UK-based B2B print and production services company founded around 1990 and headquartered at 124 City Road, London, with an operational office in Maldon, Essex. The firm functions primarily as a coordinator of a curated network of vetted production partners rather than as an owner of heavy production assets, and delivers projects end-to-end from initial brief through to final delivery and installation. Its service portfolio spans four core lines: Print & Production (point-of-sale, direct mail, events/exhibitions, large format); Design & Development (packaging, storage solutions, prototyping); Merchandise and Promotional Gifts; and Digital & Web Services. Production technology in-house or via partners includes offset litho, digital printing (notably a Ricoh C7200sx SRA3 capable of spot-white on metallic stock), Mimaki CJV150-160 large format print-and-cut, HP large format, and a documented eco-friendly stack covering alcohol-free presses, FSC-certified papers, soy-based inks, and recycled/seed papers.

Solo Group targets two primary customer segments: UK advertising and marketing agencies (e.g., VCCP, 33 Design Agency) requiring reliable production partners for client campaigns, and large corporate brands across food & beverage (Innocent Drinks), healthcare/consumer health (Acuvue/Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Boots), automotive (Nissan, Subaru), and logistics (Amazon). The business model is sales-led, relationship-based, and project-specific with quote-based pricing; there are no public pricing tiers and revenue is not disclosed. Marketing relies on reputation, testimonials, awards, and a content/website presence rather than performance marketing. Solo Group has built procurement-grade credentials through consecutive EcoVadis Silver Recognitions (2022, 2023), an EcoVadis Committed Badge (2024), and Avetta Supplier Awards (2023, 2024) plus Diversity Leader and Safety Star recognitions (2024, 2025), positioning the firm as a sustainability-credentialed supplier for enterprise procurement processes. The company is privately held and appears founder-owned, with no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity in the available record.
