After being donated amazing printing equipment from Karten Network we were all excited to create various projects but unfortunately, our location (although beautiful) had a terrible internet connection, and this was proving to be a major issue in carrying out the work.
This is when Openreach saved the day by fitting a £25,000 Fibre line and getting us back online. But again, we found we had the issue that this wonderful fast connection was not working as it should as our server was outdated!
Again, we were saved by Karten Network as they donated a new server and we were up and running at last.
Coronavirus and lockdown brought new pressures on us all, but we have remained open and carried on as well as we could, creating new ways to keep busy for both the trainees who attended and the ones who were shielding at home.
One of the ideas the Trainees came up with was to produce a ‘positive’ newspaper full of happy news and promoting the business.
Trainees have been busy creating their own articles.
Presently, as we are preparing to come out of lockdown and a number of Trainees are back in Lakeside Printing, they have been working on marketing ideas and have decided to offer monthly deals on our products, starting with personalised canvases at discount prices.
