A Brief History

We have printed photos from our Newton Abbot site for over 30 years (although our history can be traced back further) and have witnessed and been at the forefront of the many technological and consumer trends during that time. Growing out of the UK's biggest direct to consumer photo processing brand, TRUPRINT, we have evolved over the years and adapted to the market changes.

Changing Technology

From the early days of film and the introduction of 110 cartridge-based film format in the 70s and APS in the 90s through to the digital photo revolution of the early millennium we have innovated each time to keep up with customer demand for new processes.

And then came the smartphone

Being the UK’s market leader Harrier fulfils for many of the UK's biggest and most recognisable photo brands, high street stores and App based printing services. We have unrivalled experience of photo photo gift and digital print production.

By providing a robust and scalable IT infrastructure and unparalleled knowledge of UK & European delivery networks underpinned by the strongest industry partnerships we deliver the very best quality and most competitively priced shipped to consumer photo products. We are the perfect choice for mass production of bespoke photo products.

Our world truly changed with the adoption of the smartphone with digital photography on demand and at the fingertips of every consumer.

We now print over ¾ of a billion photos every year – boasting a hugely diverse and dynamic product range, each one made to order by our highly skilled workforce in our state of the art facilities in both Newton Abbot and Prague.

Our People

Continuous Improvement

Whilst we strive to be the world’s most customer focussed personalised and on demand printer, our people strategy is key. We are committed to continuous improvement right across the business and not least in our talent strategy. We have a transparent and meritocratic 'promote from within' culture supported from the ground up with entry level apprenticeship’s across the business.

Opinions Matter

Our employee’s opinions, growth and welfare matter to us greatly. We have a very active employee council, suggestion scheme, social calendar and we're very proud to be one of the first businesses in the South West to have mental health first aiders trained and deployed across our facilities.

Mindful Employer

Scalable

We have around 300 permanent employees in Newton Abbot which makes us one of the largest employers in the area and during busy periods that grows to in excess of 500. In Prague, which serves our rapidly growing European customer base we scaled to 40 permanent staff within months of launching.
