Digital Print Production & Artwork Associate
Company Background
From our base in Kingston, we provide event technology and print services globally. We believe the name badge is a vital element of any business event—enabling attendees to identify each other, discover common ground, and establish connections that can transform lives and organisations. By integrating QR codes or contactless technology, badges can also collect valuable attendee data. The quality of the badge and the way it’s delivered shape each attendee’s first impression of the event.
We’re proud to work with some of the world’s best-known brands and on projects including the King’s Coronation, major automotive launches, and a wide range of international conferences. Our focus on data, systems, and continuous improvement makes for an exciting, fast-paced environment where you’ll see your contributions have a real impact.

Expect a balance of hands-on assembly tasks, project-based responsibilities, and plenty of opportunities to develop your technical and artworking skills.
We foster a supportive, growth-oriented culture. You’ll be trained on Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) and gain in-depth knowledge of data handling and spreadsheets. You’ll also learn about project workflows and have opportunities to expand your responsibilities as you grow.
