Feeder

Founded in 1926, the firm specializes in bespoke, high-quality stationery using Waite and Saville die-stamping machines. Under the leadership of Perrott, the company generated a turnover of £25,600 and a profit of £12,000 for the 2023/24 fiscal year. The firm operates three Waite & Saville machines, a two-colour AB Dick 9810 offset press, a single-colour AB Dick 375, a Babs guillotine, a Therm-O-Type card slitter, and a Wahli envelope feeder. Perrott, who joined in 1971, plans to mentor others in the industry as he approaches retirement. He emphasizes the unique qualities of die-stamping, noting its fine detail and the skill required to produce such work. Perrott maintains relationships with other engravers and die-stamping printers in the UK and has introduced graphic design students to die-stamping machinery, which they found impressive. He expresses a desire to remain involved in the trade without the pressures of job acquisition.
