Celebrating 50 Years of Print Excellence with CDP!

From humble beginnings in a small home office in Liverpool to becoming a beacon of innovation in the print industry, CDP has reached a significant milestone—our 50th anniversary! This journey, marked by growth, innovation, and enduring partnerships, is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence. We are grateful to all our clients and partners who have been a part of this remarkable journey. Here’s to the next 50 years of success and innovation!

The Humble Beginnings

Our story began in 1974, in a modest front bedroom in Liverpool, where Joe Scanlon founded Continuous Data Print (CDP). The company started small, with limited resources but an abundance of determination. Those early days were marked by hard work, resilience, and a vision that extended beyond the confines of that small room. Despite the challenges, Joe’s dedication laid the foundations for what was to come.

Commitment to Community

While our growth has been significant, CDP’s commitment to the community has never wavered. From the very beginning, we understood that our success was intrinsically linked to the wellbeing of the communities we serve. This understanding led to initiatives like “Love Jobs,” where we offered free printing services to local organisations such as scouts, churches, and community groups. It was about making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Our ethos of giving back is also reflected in our long-standing tradition of supporting regional charities. Over the years, CDP has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for these organisations, driven by a desire to contribute positively to society. This commitment to social responsibility is not just a corporate policy; it’s a core value that informs every aspect of our business.

Looking Ahead: A Future Built on Trust and Innovation

As we look to the future, CDP remains committed to the principles that have guided us for the past 50 years. We are mindful of our responsibility to preserve our legacy while continuing to innovate and adapt to the changing needs of our customers. The introduction of hybrid mail solutions and the expansion into new sectors like signage and promotional merchandise are just a few examples of how we are evolving to meet these needs.
We recognise that our success is not just about what we do but how we do it. The trust and loyalty we have built with our clients, suppliers, and staff are the foundation upon which we continue to grow. As our Managing Director Paul Bracken puts it, “We remain committed to evolving with the times, embracing new technologies and practices, while staying true to the values that have guided us from the beginning – trust and loyalty.” And this is something that each one of us at CDP lives by.
