Graphic Design and Print are celebrating becoming the first business in Norfolk to be awarded the prestigious Social Enterprise Mark.
Graphic Design and Print CIC, based in rural North Norfolk, was set up over two years ago as a Social Firm to provide training and employment for disadvantaged local people, but at the same time provide a quality and professional design and print service to customers. Director of Graphic Design and Print CIC Stephen Mollison said “We hope holding the Social Enterprise Mark will identify us as a business that really cares about how it operates and that customers from across the UK will buy from us, confident that we have a proven social benefit”. He also thanked Social Enterprise East of England for their support and bursary for their Mark application.
Jane Taylor, Director of Social Enterprise Norfolk, the local network for social enterprises in the County said “As the "Big Society" agenda becomes a reality, more people could be looking to trade with social enterprises. We are delighted that the first one of our 170 members has obtained the Mark and expect others may follow”
