Tudor Rose expands after trade visit
A Leicester publishing and marketing services company has revealed ambitions to double its workforce over the next 18 months after taking part in a trade mission organised by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI).
Tudor Rose said it has strengthened its alliance with the United Nations and secured interest in three new projects following a trade visit to Geneva.
The Friar Lane-headquartered company currently employs 37 people to produce books and magazines, and has opened a new office on Bowling Green Street which will accommodate a further 21 employees.
The firm, which has an annual turnover of £2.1m and is currently growing at 22 per cent a year, was established 12 years ago by Jon Ingelton.
Ingelton said: “We have built up an impressive portfolio of UN and NGO books over the last 12 years and have some optimism that after our recent meetings we will quickly complete our human development publication calendar for the next three years.
“While this side of our business only accounts for 10 per cent of our turnover, the references that we have play a significant role in helping us to win new business in other sectors.”
