Imaginators clinches ‘Best SME Business of the Year 2018’ gong

Large-format digital print production company Imaginators has won ‘Best SME Business of the Year 2018’ at the Essex Business Excellence Awards 2018.

Matt Tydeman, director and founder of Imaginators, said: “Winning ‘Best SME Business of the Year 2018’ is already opening up further opportunities for printing within our established business areas, both across Essex and throughout the UK. Business is good and we’re confident of yet further strong growth”. Imaginators is a privately-owned family business that prints and installs stage branding for the music industry, music festivals, live entertainment and live events, sports branding, exhibition, experiential marketing, retail and PoS graphics, building wraps and outdoor advertising. Last year the company installed a second Durst superwide printer and now operate six different digital output technologies. Tydeman added: “Imaginators is no stranger to winning awards - winning best event branding for three consecutive years for services to the music industry is a wonderful achievement which we are immensely proud of. However, I wanted Imaginators to be recognised for its achievements in business and not just the printing and events industry to acknowledge the hard work passion, determination, tireless energy and skill that goes into running a top performing company whilst at the same time recognising the printing industry as a whole. These awards were judged on financial acumen, management, growth, leadership, innovation, quality and service against other businesses from tech-start-ups, retail, finance, IT, media and manufacturing and I am immensely proud of what this award means to the business and the team behind Imaginators”. Over 1,200 businesses entered the sponsored by HSBC awards.
