A printing and communications company is preparing to make a £2 million move to Chelmsford, bringing new jobs with it.

Clifford Thames Printing Company Ltd - a part of the Clifford Thames Group - opens its new site at Dukes Park next month.

More than 100 staff will transfer from Brentwood to the 25,000 sq ft premises in Montrose Road and up to ten extra jobs are likely to be created by the relocation.

It was sparked by a need for more space for equipment and the rise in online media business.

More than £1.5 million of the new investment has been set aside to install a new eight-colour press to help with the move towards high resolution colour printing.
