She is a highly skilled production machines and versatile with an excellent knowledge of all the different printed textile we make. Like Ruth, she is part of the original team of four machinists that set about developing the full range of merchandise we know offer. Her pride in everyones work is clear to see and we are proud to have her at the wheel.

Starting his time with Paul Bristow’s only a few months before the pandemic started has meant Rick’s time with us has been far from normal. But in that time, he has quickly shown the diligence and dedication required to form great relationships with his clients. His knowledge of textiles and printed merchandise is growing quickly and that is largely down to the high standards of performance he expects of himself.

Starting several years ago as a screen printer, Wyn has always been a hard working and very skilled printer. He made the move into Digital printing with us when we bought our first machine and has managed the growth in this area ever since. But it is his background in silk screen printing and colour mixing that makes him a great digital printer. Even after thousands and thousands of meters of printed fabric, he and Ben still discuss how amazing it is that we can reproduce fine art in such levels of detail. Gone our the days of 8 screen samples for the Royal Academy of Arts taking two days and several years off our lives to get right!
