Karl & I set up what was then called Lincs Distribution in 2010. We had a simple website however Karl decided to work for another distribution company for a bit to gain some experience, Karl worked for this company for a year until in 2012 we got our first inquiry through the website.
Our first job was for a slimming world consultant. We brought some GPS trackers (maker us the first in Lincolnshire to use GPS tracking) & went out to complete the job together (probably the last time I delivered lol). After that Karl printed some business introductory letters & we never looked back. We quickly got a team together & started to build up a client base. In December 2012 we found out we were having our first daughter Elsie-May & she was born in August 2013. Having a new baby in our flat meant we no longer had room to operate from home. So we set about to find a storage locker as we assumed an office in town would be too expensive. However we did end up finding a suitable office in the centre of town and moved in January 2014.
Not long after moving we realised that all of our distribution customers need to get there leaflets print & many was asking us if we could do it as an all in 1 service. So we thought we not, it made a lot of sense so we become a print broker & Lincs distribution became Next Level Advertising Solutions. For the next 3 years we worked as a print broker & leaflet distribution business growing steadily. At the start of 2017 we started to look into getting our own digital printer so we could offer better prices and faster turn around times on smaller amounts. After a lot of research & even more meetings we came to the conclusion that a digital printer just would not get into our 2nd Floor office. Our lease was due to end at the end of the year so we took this opportunity to move our business back home (we had since moved to a bigger place).
This brings s too where we are today. We now have our own digital printer so can print small quantities in-house. We are still delivering all over Lincolnshire but we are currently in the process of trialing LIVE GPS so our clients we be able to see where there leaflets are being delivered in real time (again we will be the first in Lincolnshire to offer this).
