Digital technology has brought a new chapter into the life of a Holywell printing company that has just celebrated its 150th anniversary.

W Williams & Son Printers, which has just signed a deal for two Xerox digital printing presses, started off in the days of hot metal and Letterpress printing.

The contract with Deeside office equipment suppliers, b2 business systems, is worth £250,000 over five years and will see Williams using some of the most up-to-date printing technology.

The company currently operates traditional lithographic printing presses alongside a modern, digital, facility.

“The lithograph is great for long runs – we do up to a million sheets a run – but the digital will print, fold and stitch all in one process. Each system has its advantages and so we’re able to offer our customers the best of both worlds,” said Glyn Williams.

W Williams & Son employs five people at 38a High Street, near Holywell Leisure Centre.
b2’s most popular products are multi-functional devices, which copy, print and scan using a single machine.

b2 business systems was founded in 1991 by owner and Managing Director, Paul Rutt. It supplies Xerox office equipment to customers across North Wales and the North West. It is currently holder of the Xerox Concessionaire of the Year award for Wales and the North of England.

b2 also has divisions providing IT system design and installation, and office supplies. It employs 27 at offices at Deeside Industrial Park and Parc Menai, Bangor.

Paul said: “We are delighted to be doing business with W Williams & Son Printers. It is a fine long established business with a deserved reputation for excellence in its field.”
