1979
Humble Beginnings
KEP Print Group is a family-run commercial printing company based in Tamworth. The business started in 1979 in the family garage of Kenneth E. Plowman, his wife Irene, son Mark, and Mark’s wife Anita. Ken was a gifted sign writer, and Mark, Anita and Irene knew they could capitalize on his talent by purchasing a printing press so Ken wouldn’t need to hand-write every sign in a multiple-sign order.

Organic Growth
In order to justify the cost of such an expensive machine at the time, Mark and Anita visited local businesses canvasing for small jobs to put on their press in hopes of turning a profit. The four-person team worked tirelessly to deliver and exceed their new customers’ expectations as they were competing against large, established printers.

2013
A Growing Team
Mark, Anita, Irene and Ken slowly became known for their excellence in customer service. They delivered accurate jobs on-time every time, even if that meant working through the night to meet tight deadlines and personally driving orders 40 miles on their small motorbike in the rain when they couldn’t afford a delivery service. Clients took notice, and as the customers’ businesses grew, so did KEP.

Loyal Service, Loyal Customers
Allen Lloyd, founder of Lloyds Pharmacy, came to KEP when he only owned six pharmacies, frustrated that other printers had turned down his small order of six posters, one for each storefront window. Mark and Anita welcomed the work, and the relationship was born. Today, KEP provides Lloyds with all point-of-sale marketing materials for over 1,500 stores and operates a team at the Lloyd’s Pharmacy head office in Coventry.
