Team Leader

Based in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent town centre, I lead TukTuk Creative Marketing Ltd to provide characterful website strategy, and WordPress design, for established businesses. As an ex-Sentinel sub-editor, I bring newsroom momentum to every project, and I’m often told I’m a business therapist hiding as a designer, because I focus on honest advice, and making your budget work as hard as possible.

I specialise in WordPress and Avada, creating websites that are hardworking tools, not just digital ornaments. Whether it’s a dedicated build week, or a strategic polish, I help purpose-driven founders across Stoke, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Staffordshire find a smoother route to a website they actually love.

PANDA PRESS STONE LIMITED

PRINTER

ADVOCATE: LAURENCE TUNNICLIFFE

Quality printing and design – Driving sales for business across Staffordshire and beyond – Improving brand visibility

Hello, my name is Laurence Tunnicliffe and I help businesses grow sales and improve brand visibility through high-quality print and design.

As the Managing Director of Panda Press in Staffordshire for nearly a decade, I am responsible for a great team of people delivering printed marketing materials that really make our customers stand out from the crowd. We enjoy fantastic relationships with all clients, from sole traders to large multinational corporations and Staffordshire firms to businesses across the country.

We are a family firm. My father started Panda Press 40 years ago, before I took over. In fact, some of the customers who first placed an order with us all that time ago still use us to this day. What’s more, we remain in the same studio where it all began (albeit with the recent installation of a state-of-the-art litho printer).

Print has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I attended the Watford College of Printing, before taking up a job as Sales Director of a multinational textile labelling company. It was here that I was involved in designing conceptual packaging and meeting whatever technical challenges came my way.

In my career I’ve created, designed and implemented everything from fabric labelling for major UK clothing retailers to booklets on behalf of Virgin Atlantic.  Not just any booklets, I might add, but stunningly realised promotional literature for First Class passengers – delicately perfumed and light-reflecting through the use of metallic particles in printing inks that were originally designed to spray cars.

It’s a background that continues to underpin our philosophy at Panda Press. We go above and beyond to exceed our customer’s expectations.

In 2007, I returned to Staffordshire and joined the family business. It was an exciting challenge and I am proud to say that we are growing and continue to do so.

Our bespoke printing service means that if you can imagine it, we can make it happen. In other words, we offer a level of experience and craft that you just don’t get with online printing firms.

Skill and expertise allows us to handle the graphic design and printing of beautiful marketing materials – from eye-catching business cards and branded business stationery to corporate brochures, banners and signs.
