Penrith-based H&H Reeds Printers has appointed Cheryl Duckworth to its expanding workforce.

Cheryl, who joins as signs administrator and graphic designer, will work closely with both the signage and pre-press departments, with a large focus on administering the pre-press for large format printing.

Originally from Kendal, she worked initially with Cypher Digital Imaging in Milnthorpe and most recently as a self-employed graphic designer, working with clients across the UK.

Her new role will see her using her skills on vehicle wraps, internal and external signage, and exhibition stands, all of which are printed and produced at Reeds’ printworks.

Cheryl said: “I have joined H&H Reeds Printers at an exciting time for the business, and I am really looking forward to working with such a knowledgeable and experienced group of people.

“This is a challenging and diverse role for me and I am especially excited about meeting new customers and being part of a skilled and knowledgeable team.”

Managing director Andy Jackson said: “We are delighted to welcome Cheryl as a valued addition to our dedicated team of staff.

"Her vast experience as a graphic designer will prove an asset to the premier service that we offer our customers.

“The signage division is a huge part of the H&H Reeds business and we have seen exceptional growth this year. Cheryl’s appointment will certainly strengthen the company’s position in this highly-competitive industry.”
