A group of students from West Walsall E-Act Academy visited Precision Colour Printing for a tour of their three sites as part of their career development; to find out what goes on behind the scenes in the world of print.

John Hulme – Design & Technology teacher at the Academy could clearly identify with the experience having worked for PCP as engineer 10 years ago.
John said:
“Printing is a traditional industry but it is still very much at the forefront of technology. As part of the students’ course we felt a visit to the factory would be an ideal opportunity to find out what goes on into the process of producing a magazine that we see displayed in newsagents throughout the country.”
“Our aim is to visit a number of different businesses that the younger generation are not familiar with to explore different career possibilities.”
David said:
“At PCP we try to get involved with local schools, colleges and universities to help support their career development programme.” We have conducted a number of factory tours and are delighted to talk with any student who is thinking about a career in print.
