Hickling and Squires is a Total Solution Company.
Each solution is subjectively built around our clients' requirements, as a partnership between the client and us. The ability to provide a quality solution is demonstrated by our extensive plant list or simply by talking to any of our existing clients.
To over simplify 50 years of experience and millions of pounds worth of investment may seem foolhardy but some clients simply what to know if we can put ink on paper? The answer is a simple, yes. We have the best machinery available - We make it happen. You're assured of consistency and quality with Hickling and Squires.
Typically, our solutions extend beyond putting ink on paper. While putting ink on paper is the fundamental foundation on which the Total Solutions is built we provide Design consultancy, logistical support, product management and some of the fastest turn around times available.
If you have a requirement the best thing to do is 'contact us' and someone from our management team will discuss your requirements and can therefore provide a subjective and appropriate solution. The Total Solution is not a 'one size fits all'.
Below we have simplified some of our core skills, please remember if your looking for something else simply call us and we'll discuss how we can work with you to provide the print solution.

Management Information.
Our team of estimators, as well as having an enviable reputation for rapid estimation turnaround time, utilise and analyse the data produced by our Tharstern MIS application and suggest alternative processes for further cost savings
The system also has the capability of producing historical usage figure on all groups of products for your scrutiny. These figures may be displayed in many ways through the various analytical reports we have available.
Often figures are requested by our clients for budgetary purposes and a detailed report by sorted by product enables the end user to see how spending breaks down by job type instead of just a total cost.
Product management.
Our management information system data enables us to produce a footprint of your print requirements and historical usage data gives us the background to offer you reduced unit costs in some cases through optimum run quantities. Our skilled estimating department will always offer alternative substrates where applicable and will also make suggestions on alteration to size colour ways or make up to deliver a more value for money product.
Our warehousing and distribution facilities enable us to stock a multitude of products, manage their stock control and on a daily pre agreed timescale provide you with stock balances and numbers of issues to the various users.
