JPS Limited is an award-winning print management company working with an impressive portfolio of leading fashion, homes and lifestyle companies across the UK.
We handle every part of the print production process from start to finish using our second to none UK industry experience, insight and creativity to deliver print campaigns that are always on time, always within budget and always managed with passion.
We’re expert consultants with a heritage of over 130 years. Founded by brother and sister John and Bridget Petty from the Petty family – a name renowned within the UK print industry for quality, innovation and honesty.
Nothing at JPS Limited is off the shelf, each project is tailored and managed to meet the unique challenges of our clients’ companies around the UK. We achieve this with a bespoke and personal print management consultancy service, putting the customer at the heart of everything we do and by being strategic in our approach to deliver on print quality, innovation and value.
Our promise to our clients is simple. Because we love our work you’ll love working with us.
You could say printing ink is in John’s blood. He comes from a long line of printers going back to 1865 with Petty & Sons. It’s a family business he loves and one which he continued when he founded JPS Limited in 1996.
With more than 45 years of experience, there really isn’t a question, print or paper, that John wouldn’t be able to answer, or that he hasn’t been asked before.
His experience is invaluable to our clients and their campaigns. With John they know that their project is in capable hands with time served expertise and passion.
He specialises in web-offset, gravure and sheet fed printing and all types of volume binding.
Bridget is the heart of JPS Limited. She comes from a family of printers so it’s no surprise that in 1997 – after a successful career working in repro at Scan Kolor Limited, then in publishing at American Express, Condé Nast and RR Donnelly which spanned 28 years – she joined her brother John to manage JPS Limited.
Since then Bridget has never looked back and JPS Limited has not only grown its loyal client base considerably, but also the team and its awards cabinet.
Fiona joined JPS Limited in 2008 bringing with her 15 years of experience in marketing, mail order and publishing having held positions at Otto UK, Time Warner, BCA and The Bradford Exchange.
It’s this marketing experience that allows Fiona to get closer to JPS Limited clients. She understands first-hand the pressures and challenges felt by marketing departments, how they work and what they need in a print management partner.
She’s the person marketing teams want on their side to guide them through a project from start to finish.
Her passion lies in luxury retail brands and publishing and exceeding client expectations.
Sarah is the newest edition to JPS Limited, joining the team in Feb 2018 to develop new business. She brings with her over 20 years of sales experience selling sheet fed, web-offset and gravure print – she has worked for some of the largest UK printers including Polestar and YM Group.
Sarah believes that the key to success in winning new business is to build good relationships by really listening and understanding customer requirements and having the knowledge and experience to be able to offer cost effective print solutions.
Sharron has a close eye for detail, especially when it comes to print finishes, is very organised and a great listener – the perfect combination for a key account manager at JPS Limited.
She joined JPS Limited in December 2015 bringing a combined 20 years of experience in the industry having held positions with Great Northern Envelopes, Lexicon and Catalyst.
She has earned the title ‘Envelope Queen’ in the office. You name it, when it comes to knowledge of envelopes and sheet-fed production Sharron is the go to person.
When Natalie joined the team in 2016 she brought with her 20 years of experience in the print industry, mail order and direct mail.
She previously held the role of print production controller at Otto UK overseeing leading fashion brands such as Freemans, Grattan and Look Again – a role which took her across Europe to oversee their press passing.
She’s a self-confessed magazine addict – an interest which was probably fuelled during her time at Polestar managing titles such as GoodFood, Top Gear and Hello!
Natalie manages the whole print management process, from brief to delivery and nothing gets passed her eagle eyes.
It’s fair to say Zoe is a fashionista. Her career started in fashion, completing a degree in its promotion, production and design and owning a couture business.
In 2016 Zoe brought her keen eye for design and attention to detail to the JPS Limited team and its clients.
Her role is varied – from assisting with huge price comparison spreadsheets, to managing projects for her own clients, to dog walking, no two days are the same – and that’s just the way she likes it.

Ok, so they may not be the hardest working in the JPS Limited team, but it’s fair to say they are the cutest – something they know all too well.
