Carbon Balanced Printer

By Latest News

What better time than World Environment Day to announce that J Thomson Colour Printers is now the largest Certified Carbon Balanced commercial printer in Scotland.

J Thomson is supporting the global conservation charity World Land Trust in their crucial efforts to protect and preserve threatened, carbon-rich habitat around the world.

When we began our journey towards ISO 14001 certification in 2005, we had only one goal in mind, and that was to make J Thomson Colour Printers as environmentally sustainable as we possibly could.

Our World Land Trust Carbon Balanced Certification is just one part of our strategy to reduce our environmental impact. We strive to continue to invest and innovate to ensure we offer our customers the most sustainable solutions possible.

What does this mean for our clients? When you choose J Thomson Colour Printers, you’re not only guaranteed high quality printing services, you are also supporting a company dedicated to environmental responsibility. Together we can make a difference and we look forward to sharing more of our journey with you.

People Create Print : Kim Rice, Financial Controller

By Latest News

On National Numeracy Day, we decided to catch up with our Financial Controller Kim Rice.
 Read her Q&A’s here.

1. Kim, you joined the company when Alastair Baird retired, how has your first year been?
It’s been great. I left my job of 15 years in practice so coming to J Thomson’s was a big change for me, but I get to work with an amazing team of people which has made the move more rewarding than I thought it would be.

2. Did he give you any pointers that has made your transition into the role easier?
One thing he said to me was ‘just enjoy it’ and so that’s what I tell myself when Kevin appears 5 minutes after closing off the month looking for the results!

3. Have you always been interested in the financial side of business?
Yes, pretty much. I started my career in accountancy at 16 as a junior accounts assistant and have never looked back.

4. When you were younger, what did you want to be?
Aside from obviously wanting to tour the world as a backing dancer for the likes of Beyonce (never say never, right!?) I knew from primary school age I would be an accountant.

5. Have you learned anything about print since you started?
I like to think I have, but really only scratched the surface – there’s a lot to learn!

6. When you are not working what do you like to do?
Spending time with my boys.

7. You are having a dinner party, who would you invite (dead or alive), why?
All my friends and family plus Gordon Ramsay because I ain’t cooking…

8. The old favourite, you are stuck on a dessert island, you are allowed one person and one item what/who would they be?
I couldn’t pick just one person, so I would take a blanket and cider instead!

9. You win the lottery, where would you like to travel to?
Somewhere off grid where no-one can reach me.

10. e are printing your autobiography, what is the title?
‘I am Kim.’

People Create Print : Nadav Dar, Digital Pre-Press Junior

By Latest News

Nadav Dar is studying Graphic Design at college and working part-time as our Digital Pre-Press Junior.
 Read her Q&A’s here.

What are you studying at college?
I am studying a HND in Graphic Design at City of Glasgow College.

Do you plan to do a further qualification after HND?
Yes, I plan to study the Design Ba(hons) course.

Have you always been interested in design?
I originally wanted to do illustration, but the Graphic Design course looked more appealing, and I thought that I could develop a wider range of skills.

What area of design do you enjoy best?
I love experimenting with different media, I especially took a liking for screen-printing. I also enjoy working with typography, having done several type based projects I tend to lean towards creating interesting designs that are fun to look at.

How does your course compare to what you are learning at J Thomson?
Very different, studying covers different aspects of all that is available in graphic design but only scratches the surface at what is done in print. Print is a very new and exciting aspect of the design industry.

What are you hoping to learn from your time in Digital Pre-Press?
I want to expand my knowledge of the company and what it provides, learn new skills both digitally and practically and find an area within print that I excel at or just enjoy.
