Alan Bunter

Managing Director

I started in print at the age of 20 but have been in and around our family business most of my life!

It was important for me to work and study in other industries and companies, working in engineering I wanted to build on my interest in motorsport. When full time employment began at Remous Print – I started in the bindery and have worked for a minimum of 12 months in every position in the company, from folding to guillotining, printing to marketing, unloading lorries, shrink wrapping, perfect binding, cutting and creasing , platemaking and .. well you get the point.

It is important to me that I have genuine full and complete experience in every machine or process in the company – something that is missing from a lot of print providers.

I moved into a marketing role in in 2005 and worked to develop our web presence as well as growing our marketshare, a tough time to say the least, this is something you have to do to appreciate and sure we have all been there! Fortunately we worked to our strengths and I was able to create some niche websites we still work from today shortrunbooks.co.uk and shortrunpackaging.com

2007 I moved into Production Management along with Keith, at this time we invested in Management Information System to help run our company more effectively and enable more information for clients. Over the last 7 years has been a challenging but every rewarding time, working to keep our print service relevant and in demand during a massive change in the industry, the internet, changing needs, massive over capacity and a recession has changed the print and graphic arts industry for good, I pleased and proud to have been able to steer Remous Print through this and making us stronger company for it.

In my spare time I enjoy motorsport, racing cars is something I have always done but is sporadic now due to time constraints, three children consume lots of time! I also enjoy martial arts, kickboxing & Jujutsu, reading, personal development, cooking Japanese food and fitness training. Most of all spending quality time with my wife Carla and our three children.

Graham Bunter

Director

My career in printing only really began at the age of 30, when circumstances dictated that I closed my motor repair business and looked for something else to do. All my life I had been a tinkerer, fascinated by what made mechanical things work, and was involved pretty heavily on motor racing from my teenage years, to the extent that I was publishing a small magazine on the subject. Having just purchased a derelict railway station, with several vacant outbuildings, the manager of the print shop   that was printing the magazine suggested we set up in business to print the magazine ourselves, so in 1978, Review Publications came into being. My partner, David Duley, was the printer, on an ancient Rotaprint press, and I learnt the skills of folding, stapling and trimming the work. We were offered work by a retired London print rep, who had moved to the area, and thus began business relationships that are still going today, notably Bishops Move Group, All England Tennis Club, and the British Driving Society. After 18 months, we took a bold step forward by joining up with another studio based partnership, who had access to more work than we could cope with, so Remous Ltd was formed on March 1st 1980, with new equipment housed in a newly built double garage at my home. This was soon outgrown, and within two years we moved again in the village on our present site, although at that time it was the ground floor of and old glove works, where we took on a massive desk diary project, which would be the mainstay of our business for many years.

In 1984, the whole site was sold for development, and we were offered the opportunity of building a bespoke factory, which cost the sum of £60,000-£20,000 for the site and £40,000 for the building! This factory is where we are still based, although a large extension was built in 1998, when we joined forces with Keith Sparks’ business, which added new skills and turnover to Remous Ltd. In 2000, we bought our first brand new Heidelberg press, having always bought used machines before, and this was followed by further machinery upgrades which took us into full colour printing with one pass. Heidelberg was the world’s top supplier of printing machinery for many decades, but more recently, Japanese companies have taken over the role, which had led us to purchase two new Komori presses over the past five years, together with associated finishing equipment.

By virtue of age, my role in the business is now diminishing, but I am delighted to have a son who is driving the company forward, with new ideas and technology that has led to further services being offered, and other businesses brought into the company to strengthen it for the challenges ahead.

Nigel has had an extensive and impressive career in the print industry, starting at Haynes Publishing Group in 1978, known for their DIY Car Repair Manuals.

As a qualified litho printer he has worked lots of different presses over the years in and around the Somerset area, becoming a very well-respected press minder with an eye for detail! Nigel joined us in 2021 for a new challenge. He applied all his experience in litho print to retrain in the complex field of our packaging production.

That same eye for detail has been key to him becoming qualified in running both our box gluing lines plus both our die cutting machines!
