What AlphaGraphics does

AlphaGraphics (legal entity AGNE Limited) is a UK-based, privately held design, print, and marketing services provider headquartered at Preston Farm Industrial Estate in Stockton-on-Tees. The company employs nearly 100 staff across estimating, design, marketing, client account management, plate-making, litho, digital, finishing, bindery, and mailing functions, and has operated in the UK for over 30 years. It holds ISO 27001 information security certification and Chain of Custody certification for sustainable paper sourcing, and positions itself as an award-winning, end-to-end in-house production house rather than a broker.

The company's product surface is organised into four core service pillars: Design & Creative (graphic design, brand identity, digital media, and creative production); Print Production (digital and litho printing, large format, signage, brochures, packaging, point-of-sale, and promotional merchandise); Marketing & Communications (direct mail, email and SMS marketing, and data-driven campaign strategy); and Consultancy & Management (print consultancy, print management, fulfilment, and web-to-print portal solutions). Underlying technology includes HP Indigo digital offset printing, waterless offset printing, HP Latex large format printing, Digital Asset Management (DAM) software, and brand-controlled web-to-print/Digital Store Front portals for multi-site clients.

AlphaGraphics earns revenue across five streams: transaction-fee print production; project-based design; professional-services marketing campaigns; managed-services print contracts (often recurring); and transactional promotional merchandise. Pricing is quote-based for bespoke work with 30-day payment terms, and pay-as-you-go unit pricing for standard products ordered through the self-serve online platform, which ships with free UK economy delivery. GTM is primarily direct enterprise field sales with a dedicated account management team, supplemented by an online self-serve channel for SMBs and a 10% referral commission programme for marketing/IT consultants. Customer segments are vertical-led, with named anchor clients in automotive (Lloyd Motor Group, Park's Motor Group, Vertu), retail (Ocado, Tamworth Coop, Heart of England Co-operative), education (multiple Russell-group universities), hospitality (Center Parcs, Motel One), manufacturing (Caterpillar, CEF), sports (Premier League, Newcastle United, Middlesbrough FC), government, transport, and charities.
