Brand merger for Stockport electoral and marketing businesses

A new name in electoral and marketing communications has been announced after the brand merger of two Stockport businesses: Print Image Network and UK Engage.

Both businesses share a strong, rich heritage in electoral and marketing communications, having been working for public and private sector organisations for over 25 years.

PIN Communications will continue to concentrate in its core public sector markets, but the refreshed brand and improved market proposition will enable future growth through a focus on marketing activation and digital communications delivery with private sector businesses.

Stockport-based PIN Communications is backed by private equity firm Owner Venture Managers, who have supported a phase of investment and growth under the leadership of Michelle Ward. With a new brand, new headquarters, investments in software and capabilities, the change encapsulates the activities and ambitions of the business today. Michelle Ward, PIN Communications’ Managing Director, commented:

“For 25 years, we’ve proudly served our customers as Print Image Network Ltd and UK Engage.

“Today, we celebrate that journey and the exciting launch of our new chapter: PIN Communications. Our new identity reflects who we are today and who we’re becoming: a business built on authenticity, collaboration, curiosity, integrity, and brilliance. We’re ready for the next exciting chapter in our story.”

Earlier this year, Print Image Network was named PrintWeek’s Customer Service Team of the Year for Large Enterprise, recognising its dedication to excellence and client satisfaction. It was also Highly Commended for the PrintWeek Company of the Year for Large Enterprise and has held the prestigious Cabinet Office Customer Service Excellence (CSE) Standard since 2012.

PIN Communications heralded the new brand with a celebration for staff, customers and suppliers at The Colony in Wilmslow, Cheshire, and have launched a new website showcasing the expanded capabilities.
