> About Us

Following the demise of Ticketshop and Ticket Express in 1994/95 we purchased the assets of both companies and re-located to the market town of Henley-on-Thames, famous for the Royal Regatta each year in July.

Despite what other ticket  printers say Dot Matrix printing is the cheapest form of continuous printing available today. For that up market look then Laser printing is the obvious choice to include graphics or logos of your choice.

The company is owned by the husband and wife team of Jim and Carolynn Birney. Jim has extensive knowledge of the amateur and professional theatre having spent the last 35 + years designing lighting and sound systems for over 60 productions a year as well as being technical manager of the fourth oldest working theatre in the country, in Henley, also runs a Sound Hire business for outdoor events. Carolynn has extensive accounting experience and applies this throughout the companies daily business.

Ticket data input is spread between computer operators Adam, Chris, Paul and Roger with all ticket finishing and packing being completed by Eve a seasoned professional of some 18 years in the ticket business.

Jim designs all our Laser printed and bespoke printing work. Additional part time staff are used where necessary in our ever expanding Draw ticket market.

Using the latest technology in Dot Matrix and Laser printing available and specialist software the company provides some 30 million tickets in book and roll form per year to an ever expanding customer base both here in the U.K and in Europe.

Attending all of the National Operatic and Dramatic Associations Conferences numbering 11 from Scotland to Cornwall, The Little Theatre Guild  Annual Conference  and the AIMS Conference in Ireland gives Jim and Carolynn a chance to meet up with the many customers and friends they have made in a social gathering. I don’t know whether I have a job with a hobby or a hobby with a job, whichever way, it is a very nice job indeed says Jim.
