The Central Office of Information (COI) is the Government’s centre of excellence for marketing and communications, and has recently overhauled its framework (roster) of live event agencies, selecting Octink as one of only four agencies able to bid for signage design and production for large scale events, exhibitions and road shows.
Over 1300 agencies were evaluated through a rigorous procurement process, each evaluated on the basis of proven expertise and experience of the company and its staff, quality of service, financial soundness, pricing structure and other organisational information related to procurement requirements.
Simon Hughes Director of Live Events, whose team undertook the exercise said “My team is really looking forward to working with the new framework agencies in what will be a challenging period. We’re very confident that we have the best mix of talent to help us devise great event solutions for our clients.”
William Tyler, CEO of Octink commented “Octink is proud to be selected for this world-class framework and we are very excited at the opportunity of working with the live events team on a broad range of projects in the coming 4 years”

It was with some satisfaction that we learnt last week that we have regained the Green Guardian Award for Hounslow! This local borough award recognises those in the local community that are passionate about raising environmental awareness whilst supporting green initiatives and projects. Octink has again been named Green Business of the Year for the borough, and just like last year we now move onto represent Hounslow at the regional final at the end of February where we will be up against the greenest businesses in South West London.

Great news today as the orders have been placed for a suite of new HP photographic large format printers, all due to arrive before the end of this year. For high quality (up to 2400 dpi) indoor applications the DesignJet Z6100 will output posters, fine art and high end photographic applications at incredible print speeds. Next up is the DesignJet L25500 large format printer and its big brother the DesignJet L65500 wide format printer which will give us huge versatility speed and quality for large format outdoor and indoor applications such as banners, event signage and point of sale displays. Both are low solvent printers which use water-based latex inks to produce odorless prints using consumables that are fully recyclable, further helping us to reduce the impact of our printing on the environment.
Above all we will achieve a much improved quality and better vibrancy of colour than we have ever been able to achieve before, while the new durable inks will help to reduce the need for overlaminating in many cases. The large format printers have on-board spectrometers and the printheads are interchangeable, which means improved colour consistency and no more banding issues.
We hope to have everything up and running during the course of January, and would be happy to show any interested parties our new print capability in action. Please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for further information.
