Quality Assured Supply Chain:

Many customers, having realised the benefits of releasing their staff from print procurement activity, have a desire to source all their printed and associated products from a single supplier.

This cuts out the process complexity and cost of dealing with a number of different suppliers with different personnel, systems, lead times and attitudes.

If your aim is to release staff time, in order that they may undertake more value adding activities in your business, and outsource your print sourcing to a trusted and quality assured supplier, then Horners can meet your needs.

Horner Brothers understands the issues that companies face in purchasing printed material, because that is what we do. Our full end to end print offering is provided from our in house manufacturing capability and where products are outside of our manufacturing capability, from our extensive Quality Assured and Approved Supplier network.

Horners will manage the suppliers so that you don't have to, ensuring that they conform to the high standards of quality, process, environmental credentials and value for money which Horner Brothers Print Group itself provides.

Corporate Printing Benefits:

At Horner Brothers Print Group we have what they call our benefits wheel.

We have chosen five key words which comprise the "benefits wheel" that summarise the ways in which we add value for our customers.

Quality - Quality is at the forefront of everything they believe in and do.

Not just a quality product, which must be a given in today's market place, but quality of service, processes, people (who understand print) and ethics be that environmental or otherwise. Horners is a quality business that delivers what it promises, which means peace of mind for the customer and a sustainable solution. We have held ISO 9001 since 1993.

Easy - Horner Brothers aim to make ourselves the supplier who is easiest to deal with.

Reducing the time and effort needed in the procurement and management of print requirements. Our systems and experience allow streamlining, negating the need for laborious manual processes. This reduces process cost and time, and perhaps most critically, allows our customers more time and resource to focus on core value adding activities in their own business. Our people and systems are easy to deal with and our objective is to take away non core tasks from the customer.

Control - "Easy" does not come at the sacrifice of control

Control of brand, legal compliance and or budgets, especially across a networked business, supported by MI is one of Horners core strengths, all delivered in a tailored form so that your specific requirements are met.

Care - Customer care are not just words but the results of an investment in people who understand print and process

Care is the result of the right approach by the right people that meets your changing needs such that the whole process from sales presentation through product or project implementation to business as usual is well resourced by the right people at the right time. Finally, care involves a proactive attitude and process to identify actions that deliver value on an ongoing basis.

Value - Price is important to us all, but value for money must be king

Value is driven by understanding and managing the total cost of print ownership where product cost is only one element. Coupled with transparent, upfront and long term pricing policies Horners are committed to delivering hard and measurable savings.

Corporate Printing Culture:

Horner Brothers works hard to develop long term and mutually beneficial relationships with not only customers but our suppliers and our people. We strive for real partnership opportunities, not just words but real respect and understanding for each other's needs and requirements.

Built around the people we employ, Horner Brothers has created an equal community in which all employees feel a part. Staff actively encourage one another to communicate fully, with a high level of integrity and sincerity, on both a professional and personal level. This philosophy is fundamental to the success of the company in creating an atmosphere of confidence, self respect and self achievement for everyone.

Also very important to all at Horners is care for the wider community and the environment. We make every effort to help the local community and the environment generally. We try to maximise the positive and minimise the negative impacts they and their customers have on the environment at large.

We are proud of our history and culture of innovation. A track record of having done so in the past is one of the more tangible ways of demonstrating a commitment to innovation for the future and is part of everything we do.
