"I have been using the DS Group for several years now and I order a variety of items – roller banners, flyers, inserts, stickers, posters etc. I usually email Russell Mead and discuss my requirements and attach a template. Russell is amazing – he is quick to respond, offers advice and display suggestions. Delivery is prompt and everything I receive is produced to the highest quality. I am delighted with the service DS Group provide and have recommended them throughout our Trust and also to our local Hertfordshire County Council. I would never use any other supplier for our printing requirements – DS Group are the best in the business and I wholeheartedly recommend them."

"The DS Group have always been nothing short of amazing. I know that they always check the artwork which I send them which is a great support knowing that their design team is always on hand to step in where necessary. The timely delivery of all items has always been top noch, and the team always go the extra mile to ensure goods arrive in time often with very little lead time. They are honest, reliable and trustworthy and I shall continue to use them for all print, design and merch products. Thank you for being an extension to our marketing department!"

Jess Thristan

I work a lot with The DS Group as a Senior Graphic Designer and can honestly say they are one of the best printing companies I've worked with in my career. Nothing is ever too much or too little. Special mention to Russell Mead who is always very helpful with all projects that order from DS. We will continue to use The DS Group as our main printing source and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, good quality, fast and friendly service.

Mark Horsfield

Ipswich YM RFUC use The DS Group for a lot of our marketing and sponsorship requirements. This includes design and production of pitch-side advertising boards for sponsors but also Fixture Booklets and even a new score board. We have a very good relationship with Allistair Hunter and Tracy Norton-Mead at The DS Group and our multiple design requests are produced quickly with quality production delivered in a timely manner thereafter. Based upon our experience, we would have no hesitation in recommending The DS Group for all types of marketing materials and campaigns.
