Directors and Staff Raise the Standard

McGilvray’s Printers Directors and Staff are delighted to announce the continuing recognition of Investors In People in March 2008.

We were delighted that OLYMPIC curling champion Debbie Knox was able to attend our champagne reception to give the workforce a well-earned pat on the back.

The gold medal winner from Lochgelly presented an Investors in People award to the directors and staff of McGilvray Printers, based in Frances Industrial Park, Dysart.

It is the second time the company, which has 10 employees, received the prestigious accolade.

Teresa Henderson and George Milne, the company’s directors, were delighted to be recognised with the award.

Teresa said: “This is entirely due to the hard work and dedication of our fantastic, close-knit team.

“McGilvrays prides itself on customer care and its forward thinking approach.”
A big thank you to Debbie, we really enjoyed her visit.

McGilvray's New Investment

We have taken delivery of a new collator, stitcher, folder, guillotine and stacker for the finishing department. It enables our ladies to collate, wire stitch, fold and guillotine booklets much much quicker than previously.

It enables McGilvray’s to have the capacity to take on more programmes and booklets therefore we will be looking to print more sports programmes in the coming season.

If you would like to see you much you can save by having your programmes printed by McGilvrays, please do not hesitate to contact us for a no obligation quote.

Outstanding Contibution to Fife Business Award 2005

The hardwork and determination by the team at McGilvray Printers has paid off as Teresa Henderson picked up the accolade of Outstanding Contribution to Fife Business Award 2005 at an awards ceremony organised by the Association of Scottish Businesswomen.

The award has recognised Teresa’s efforts along with business partner George, which has seen the dramatic turnaround of the company since a management buy-out in 2000.

On accepting the award Teresa said, “I am absolutely thrilled that we have won this award particularly as it is in the same year McGilvray Printers celebrates 120 years in business.

She continued, “Whilst I have accepted the award personally, I could never have achieved this level of success without my business partner, George, and the fantastic team we have established. It is their hard work and total commitment to customer service which has been the critical factor in the company’s success and I am extremely proud and grateful for all their effort and support.”

McGilvray Printers Achieve Scottish First

McGilvray Printers has propelled itself to the forefront of the printing industry by becoming the first company in Scotland to invest in the latest printing technology.

We have invested over £250,000 in implementing the latest computer to metal plate printing technology with a new colour press which will allow the company to increase the speed and efficiency of its service as well as offering improved levels of print quality.

Managing director, George Milne, believes that this investment will allow them to challenge printers in Scotland for many years to come.

He explained, “We have taken some major steps forward in recent years, with new equipment and the implementation of IIP, however I believe that this equipment will provide the necessary capacity and quality to undertake virtually any printing project.”
The investment means that McGilvray Printers are now one of the most environmentally friendly printers in Scotland, with no harmful waste produced from the new equipment.

George explained, “Most print processes including some digital presses use a lot of chemicals which need to be disposed of very carefully, however our new system is completely chemical free. It’s vital that we ensure our business is as environmentally friendly as possible and we also believe that it is an advantage which will help to bring in new business.”

McGilvray Printers Staff Take to the High Seas...

We celebrated 120 years in business with a dream trip aboard the Superfast Ferry. On Friday 9th September, Staff boarded the ferry at Rosyth and after some celebration drinks on the Friday evening, with music and dancing, arrived at Zeebrugge on Saturday midday. The staff took the bus to the wonderful city of Bruges and had the choice of shopping, taking a sightseeing trip or a horse and carriage tour before returning to the ship to enjoy a delicious buffet meal. The ferry arrived back home on Sunday taking in the spectacular sight of the Forth rail and road bridges. What a trip!
