A PRINTING company which recently relocated in Darlington said the move had been met with a positive response from customers.

After almost 30 years on Bondgate, Prontaprint Centre closed its shop and moved to a more customer-friendly and accessible location on Grange Road.

Tim Morris, who owns the shop with his wife Kathy, said: "We are thrilled with the response we have had to our move and we are settling down well, receiving great support from new local businesses."

The site was acquired on their behalf by Anderson McKenzie Ingram, a firm of chartered surveyors and commercial property consultants.

The company, which acts on behalf of Prontaprint and its sister company Kall Kwik, has itself expanded and relocated into offices within The Imperial Centre, which is also on Grange Road.

Chris Herron, of Anderson McKenzie Ingram, said: "We were pleased to assist Tim and Kathy Morris in the relocation of their business and are delighted to see the positive impact the move has had on their business.

"So many businesses remain trading in locations that do not allow them to maximise their potential and, for these people, we would be happy to provide advice on relocation options."
