Strong financial performance, strategic investment and growing demand for managed print and physical brand delivery position the business for continued growth

Empine Group Ltd, the UKbased print management and physical brand delivery business, is continuing to build yearonyear growth, marking a significant period of progress as the company passes its 10year milestone.

Over the past financial year, Empine achieved 7% revenue growth, working with more than 250 active clients across a broad range of sectors. The business continues to support organisations that rely on print to show up consistently and confidently across events, direct mail, signage and multisite environments.

During the last year, Empine delivered several high-profile projects, including signage at Silverstone and supporting clients exhibiting across seven locations, including at the UK’s largest convention centres, the NEC in Birmingham and ExCeL London.

The growth has been supported by a number of strategic developments. Empine welcomed NonExecutive Director support, bringing additional experience and perspective to the business, and strengthened its internal capability with the appointment of Emily Yates as Marketing Manager, creating the capacity to clearly communicate the breadth and value of the group’s work.

In addition, Empine expanded its production capability by joining the ownership of a Blackpoolbased production facility, supporting the facility’s growth alongside its own and strengthening control and flexibility across output and delivery.

Empine is seeing a shift in market behaviour as digital and AIled communication accelerates. Rather than reducing investment in physical communication, many organisations are becoming more considered in how they use print to create differentiation, relevance and human connection.

Jacob Knowles, Director at Empine Group Ltd, commented:

“The last year has been significant in so many ways; we set out to change gear and really grow the business up. This has allowed us to bring in significant hires, software and begin to develop a group of complementary businesses, putting us in a unique position to look after businesses of all sizes.
The print and tangible marketing landscape has massive opportunity over the coming years, and we are looking for ambitious businesses that want to capitalise on the AI movement and create hyper-personalised tangible marketing strategies to coincide with it.“

Looking ahead, Empine has set out an ambitious growth plan for 2026/27, including:

  • Expanding warehouse capacity by more than 100 pallet spaces to support storage and fulfilment clients
  • Targeting 20%+ revenue growth
  • Sharpening focus on clients where Empine delivers the greatest value
  • Launching a new five-year strategic plan
  • Installing new machinery at the Blackpool production facility

Positioning itself as a longterm partner rather than a transactional supplier, Empine continues to focus on managing the physical side of brand delivery so clients can concentrate on strategy, fundraising, operations and growth.

With continued investment in people, systems and partnerships, Empine Group Ltd remains focused on helping organisations ensure print works quietly and reliably behind the scenes, wherever they operate.
