Our History

Jul 1996

Oct 1997

1st major contract win

After a year of trading, we secured the first of many major contract wins, partnering with Aggreko, servicing all of their UK sites.

Oct 2000

Introduction of in-house printing

After 4 years in business, we had built up enough business to make a significant investment in a litho print press and operational staff. This investment was a further commitment to our customers and our print offering, which would continue to evolve over time.

May 2002

A huge £640K investment in our print manufacturing capabilities. This investment was key to our sustainable message and continues to play a massive role in our offering to this day.

The final piece of the print jigsaw – further investment saw our print production range increase with the introduction of wide format and digital printing capabilities.

Mar 2012

Acquisition of Office Integrations

The acquisition of Office Integrations further strengthened our service offering across the central belt of Scotland, mainly within the west coast. With this acquisition, we doubled our company turnover and staffing quota.

Relocation to larger premises

The recent acquisition had seen the business double in size, so the decision was taken to move to our 100,000-square-foot custom-built premises at Kinning Park Glasgow. The increase in floor space allowed us to introduce a furniture showroom, while also offering increased space for print production and stock holding.

Jun 2015

Office Furniture partnership with Arnold Clark

The partnership involved refitting a number of Arnold Clark dealerships across the UK with new showroom furniture. All of the refits were carried out by our experienced furniture team.

Sep 2015

Embroidered workwear introduced

I have used Caley Print since it was incorporated by Mr Craig Porter back in 1995. From day 1 he knew success would be down to service and competitive pricing - being able to deliver a service that customers required and from day one that's exactly what has been provided and sometimes that service has went far beyond requirements and along with some really key staff they provide everything and nothing is too great an effort.
