The company’s turnover has doubled over the past 12 months and was recently featured on the BBC One’s Inside Out programme, and has featured on radio stations and in magazines. Mark Woodward said “Our growth shows that customers are looking for a fast, reliable service, delivering a quality product in small quantities and the UK is the right place to base this manufacturing plant to serve Europe.”

The Printed Cup Company specialise in printed paper cups from low minimum’s of 1000 to large quantities in excess of 1 million cups. The new manufacturing unit in Great Britain will enable short lead times for its customers and ensure control through every stage of the cup manufacturing process.

The official opening will be on 10th April, by Nigel Evans, MP of the Ribble Valley. ‘Caffeine Rush’ a local coffee cart franchise based in Clitheroe will be serving drinks at the event using the newly manufactured paper cups. Around 50 local dignitaries will be attending the event including the mayor of the Ribble Valley.

Creating free PR

Marketing companies tell us that there is a huge amount that can be gained using free PR, but thinking of ways to get PR can be difficult, looking at what other people have done can help.

A company in Australia offered to fill any receptacle with milkshake and resulted in pictures in the papers of people filling wellington boots.

Shakeaway offered competitions to win extreme sports vouchers in a joint venture, and last week a company in America launched a limited offer for bacon flavoured milkshakes, the milkshake is created using bacon flavouring , this has gone almost viral with 100’s of papers and even UK papers have picked up the story, and online blogs picking up the story, an example of one of the newspapers can be found at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2099163/Jack-Box-serves-bacon-milkshake-1-081-calories.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
