Here's What We Print
A small selection of our work.
The Aurora Method
We've been doing large-format print for more
than a decade now. Here is how we work.
STEP ONE: Planning & Strategy
STEP TWO: Top Class Printing, On Demand
Now, with your permission, we’ll get to work. All of our printing is done in house, so you have full control on how things will be done. We even have our own joiners and CNC machine. Talking of our machinery, it’s truly state of the art. In fact, we have some of the most cutting-edge equipment in the business (including the Arizona 6170 and the
VUETEk GS3250LX Pro, for you tech buffs). They’re great pieces of kit.
Of course, because our main factory is located outside of London, we can compete on price while maintaining excellence in output. Also: we’re always fine tuning our production processes to find more cost-effective ways of doing things. This means we can pass the savings on to you. Mike, our Managing Director, gets a strange kick out of this kind of thing.
STEP THREE: Our Own Drivers Deliver
Did we mention we also our employ our own team of drivers? It’s true. And, as far as we’re aware, we’re the only large format print specialists around who do this.
So why do we go to all the trouble? It’s simple. We never want to miss a deadline. And if you’ve been in this business as long as we have, you’ll know that 3rd party delivery can’t always be counted on. Also: We realise not every project comes with the luxury of time. Sometimes you won’t know what you want until the last minute or artwork won’t be ready until the day before. No matter. Aurora is equipped to deal with emergencies. We’ll work through the night and send a driver out at the crack of dawn if we have to. When you need us most, we’ll get the job done on time.
STEP FOUR: Hassle-Free Installation
Look: Certain jobs require installation, and installation can be a headache. We get that. Perhaps you have your own team who are happy to navigate this minefield, but in case you don’t, we can do it for you. The Aurora Fitting & Installation Team can provide a full installation service on jobs.
Whatever you need, we can handle it all for you. We’ll take care of the whole job, from start to finish, and we’re available on-demand. So just ask. We’re flexible and friendly and really good at what we do.
Meet The Aurora Team
These are some of the main folks you'll be working with.
MIKE STEARN
Managing Director
With great power comes great electricity bill. What’s the secret to this young, handsome MDs success, you ask? “By working faithfully eight hours a day”, says Mike, “you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day”.
GREG LLOYD
New Business Development
Greg is a very tall man. As a child, he grew so much he started to look like a giraffe. He looked so much like a giraffe that real adult giraffes often mistook him for a real baby giraffe. But we shouldn’t make jokes. Greg thinks it’s a cheap shot when people make fun of his height. He’s much bigger than that, see.
MARTIN RECKER
Sales Executive
Martin Recker really loves print. But sometimes, he says, “I just want to give it all up and become a handsome playboy billionaire”. We know he’d never actually do that though. Like we said, he really does love print.
MARTIN CLEMPSON
Sales Executive
Martin Clempson is 30% man, 40% charm, 72% mathematician and 100% top bloke. He likes people, coffee and dazzling shirts. He is the 9th worst snooker player in the West Midlands, but rises to 17th worst after two pints.
STEVE HODGSON
Senior Estimator
Onions make Steve sad. A lot of people don’t realise that about Steve. Here is another fact about him: In his spare time, Steve stunt doubles for the Incredible Hulk.
HEATHER AKERS
Office Manager
Heather’s preferred pronoun is “your majesty”. She has a monopoly on the office stapler and the women’s bathroom. Heather wants to be the Beyonce of print. Don’t know what that means? Neither does she.
MARK WHITEHEAD
Production Manager
This is Mark. Mark is a man with a dream. A very simple dream, mostly involving pizza and beer and barbecued snacks, but a dream nonetheless.
TOM CLEMPSON
Graphics Supervisor
Tom is a man of mystery and power. His power is exceeded only by his mystery. Tom was born at a very young age. Now, he intends to live forever. “So far, so good”, says Tom.
