AT A GLANCE
We are a direct marketer of promotional products with operations in North America and the UK and Ireland. Prior to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 we had delivered a decade of uninterrupted market-beating organic revenue growth.
OUR OBJECTIVE
Our aim is to return to our pre-COVID-19 trajectory of organic revenue growth by expanding our share in the still fragmented markets in which we operate. Our target is to achieve $1bn in Group revenue, although the achievement of this objective may now be delayed until after the original target date of 2022.
WHAT WE DO
We make it easy for our customers to promote their service, product or event. Our customers know that promotional products from 4imprint's extensive range along with personal, expert service on every order will ensure that their name - and brand - looks great in front of their target audience.
