Throughout January, we’re re-locating JJ Print Finishers and Prepackit to Leicester’s inner-city Frog Island and moving into 17,500 square foot premises there.
From Feb 1st, our new permanent address will be:
Unit 1, 15 Abbey Gate, Leicester, LE4 0AA
Frog Island is not a new area for us. JJ Print Finishers were based at New Henry Street for 7 years, until 2017. They only moved because their factory was one of many in the area that have been de-industrialised in recent years.
Our Joint Managing Director, Sean Billington is really pleased to be back in the area.
“Since setting up Prepackit with Michael, we’ve been looking for bigger premises, and closer to town. After a property fell through on Grace Road at the 11th hour, we were lucky this became available. It’s 3 times bigger (than the Glen Parva factory), just as easy to travel in from the motorway and within a mile of the City Centre. As contract packers and hand-working specialists, we have to be good at organising and managing temp staff. It’s how we flex up and manage fluctuating workloads. Being so close to town is a massive benefit. For us, and the people who work here on temporary contracts.”
If you need operational support in contract packing, point-of-sale assembly or (any type of) manual hand-work, contact us for a chat on 0116 436 2365 or email details to michael@prepackit.co.uk. We take on one-off projects, seasonal contracts, re-works and product launches in many market sectors.
