INDUSTRY NEWS www.images-magazine.com 18 images OCTOBER 2020 EverythingBranded introduces sister company Leicester-based B2B print business EverythingBranded has established a sister company called EverythingPrinted. The new digital printing company will cater to the B2C market, offering customers the option to order personalised products in quantities starting from just one unit, with same- day dispatch available on many items. Owner and founder Paul Rowlett explained: “My goal was always to move into the B2C market as it’s a natural progression for the Everything brand, however, due to Covid-19 affecting EverythingBranded so heavily, I made the decision to accelerate the launch of this aligned brand. “Covid-19 has been horrendous for our UK B2B trade, as the event, trade show and hospitality sectors were shut down, which make up over 50% of our business. At first, we had to make adjustments to suit demand, however, we got settled and started to see green shoots. Sadly, we then saw a second lockdown in Leicester, which was a major blow to our progress. The launch of the new business has been tough, but the new status quo only reinforced my decision to accelerate into the B2C market.” Paul added that, despite the difficult market conditions, he is positive about his plans for EverythingPrinted. He commented: “I’m really excited by the potential of this new brand and our entry into a new market. imagesmag.uk/EverythingPrinted 52.5k tweet impressions August 2020 @imagesmaguk Paul Rowlett, owner and founder of EverythingBranded and new sister company EverythingPrinted Wild Thang NHS tees on display at Museum of Liverpool NHS campaign T-shirts created by Wild Thang are being displayed at the Museum of Liverpool.
