A CREDITON printing company has celebrated reaching a landmark figure by giving away a £100 voucher.

Hedgerow Print, based in the town, installed a new order processing system back in 2013 and has now served the 10,000th customer on the new system.

Gary Radford, managing director at the company, said: “Our order processing system automatically numbers each order and we realised a few weeks ago that we were approaching the number 10,000 and thought it might be nice to mark that milestone."

"In order to mark the event, Hedgerow Print contacted all their customers and contacts to let them know of the plan to award a special gift to the business placing the 10,000th order and that gift has now been won by the NFU Mutual Office in Credition.”

When told of the win, NFU Crediton Partner, Richard Pym said: “What a great surprise! We find it really convenient dealing with a local printer who can meet all our requirements and are honoured to have placed the 10,000th order.”

The prize on offer was a £100.00 Gift Card to spend with Virgin Experience Days so Richard or the lucky member of his team will be able to choose from a vast array of experiences including driving a supercar, a powerboat experience, taking a 300ft bungee jump, a relaxing spa day, flying in a flight simulator, a weekend break and many more.

Mr Radford added: “I would like to thank all our customers for the 10,000 orders they have placed with us over the past three years and that our bit of fun to mark the milestone results in someone from the local NFU Mutual office having a really memorable and enjoyable experience courtesy of Hedgerow Print."
