What is your role at your business?
Director of Business Development
Briefly describe the products that POD Print provides to you.
POD Print provides a host of expert graphic design and print services that give HMRC a significantly higher level of professionalism and quality of product not experienced previously.
What are some common challenges that you face at your business?
HMRC routinely experienced marketing and sponsorship collateral issues relating to poor design and production quality that prematurely shortens the life of products and demands extra expense to replace, which in turn, minimizes profitability.
Are there any specific printing-related challenges you’ve come
across in your work, and how were they resolved?
Because of the rapidly changing environment of modern business, HMRC needs flexibility and quick action. If we need an updated media kit for a sponsor, we need to be able to speak with someone quickly, revise content as needed, submit the request, and have it fulfilled in a timely fashion. These issues were resolved when we started using POD Print’s services.
How does POD Print help you achieve your goals?
One of our goals for any marketer or sponsor that decides to use HMRC as a platform for their business is to reflect professionalism and value. Many times, POD Print has helped us to live up to this goal many times over and they are valued partner personally and professionally.
What qualities do you look for when choosing a printing company?
Expertise, selection of services, professionalism, ability to partner in creating awesome product, integrity, and culture.
How did you hear about POD Print?
One of our valued customers talked to us about how POD Print could help assist us in our printing and marketing needs.
How long have you been doing business with POD Print?
Three years
Why did you choose POD Print?
The ability of POD Print to fulfill our specific needs caused us to choose the company initially and their ability to constantly drive value for us keeps us as loyal customers.
What is your favorite feature of our products and/or service? Why?
POD Prints ability to expertly fulfill what we need is a lifesaver. When I’ve asked them about needing a product with specific criteria, they’ve expertly recommended a range of options that met what we needed and at a price lower than expected. That’s an invaluable characteristic.
What would you tell others looking for a printing company?
While I wholeheartedly recommend POD Print, I take care in who I recommend them to. It depends on if someone is looking for a trusted partner to work with that provides value or whether they’re looking for the absolute lowest cost vendor. If the former, then I recommend POD Print. If the latter, then I don’t know of a printing company that fits their needs.
Where can we find out more about you or your organization?
Tell us a little about yourself. What do you like to do outside of work?
I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, hunting, fishing, and enjoying friends.
Do you have any overall feedback or advice for us as a company?
My advice would be to maintain and grow your company’s culture, advance organizational flexibility, and always be on the lookout for ways to diversify revenue.

I asked a successful author who his favorite printer was. When he said POD Print without hesitation, that was enough endorsement. I quickly learned that POD Print is enthusiastic, friendly, competent, and encouraging. Now when people ask me where I got my books printed, I don’t hesitate to tell them POD Print as well.
