Hobs Repro, part of the Hobs Group, have acquired the Face brand (Face Creative Services), creating a new powerhouse of digital printing in central London.

Hobs Repro provides high-end printing and finishing, display graphics and creative design services to a wide range of customers including Architects, construction companies and design agencies.  With six locations in Central London and across the UK, Hobs Repro is a leading independent reprographics company and the only one to hold a Royal Warrant for services to the Royal Household.

Hobs are one of the longest established digital printers in central London, have run HP Indigo technology for the last 14 years and currently have a fleet of 6 Indigos across the country. This technology is now being supplemented by Xeikon technology, leveraging the extra-long sheet sizes and ability to print both sides simultaneously.

Craig Horwood, Managing Director of Hobs Repro, said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring the Face customers into the Hobs family.  Hobs Repro is much more than a printers; the Face customers can now access our Creative Design Team and additional services such as Bespoke Finishing, Signage & Display Printing, Document Scanning, Tender Writing and Document Control Services.”

Existing Face customers can expect a seamless continuation of their printing and copying from Hobs Digital, based at 21-27 Marylebone Lane, W1U 2NG.  They will also be able to leverage Hobs’ larger network of 22 national branches.
