PRINTING equipment firm Cats Solutions has reported a successful year, with sales rising 46 per cent to bring an £8 million turnover.

Managing director Greg Smith said the company, in Rushey Platt, was ahead of its five-year plan, with net profits up 32 per cent.

Mr Smith said: "I cannot thank the staff at Cats HQ enough.

"We have opened in Nottingham and intend to open in London in quarter three of this year. The best is yet to come. With four new contracts won in March we already have £10 million of orders for next year.

"We have launched two industry-changing services, Pay As You Go Copiers and Pay As You Go Print Rooms. Both are totally risk-free and give clients total flexibility."
