Communication in Waitrose

Printer Bob Collier is on the left and Printing Office Manager Tom Lunn on the right, with Mrs Ann Stock the Section Manager in charge of our offset machinery.

One of the attractions of the printing trade – indeed in that of printing itself – lies in seeing your work reproduced many times with all the artistry and skill of which you are capable.

Nine Partners are engaged non-stop, so it seems – in all the various sorts of printing required in Waitrose, a small part of which you are holding in your hands now.

The photograph shows the culminating moment in the printing of this year’s Christmas Chronicle cover.
