In addition, the business also has a print bureau that specialises in offering bespoke print solutions and outsourced print services producing booklets, leaflets, artwork and proofs.

Even today, in 2025, Newman still has customers who started that relationship back in 1980 when the company was formed, something Newman puts down to its exceptional service, saying: “We simply do things right, the way they should be done and treat our customers fairly.” Newman has an enviable customer retention ratio.

One service offered by Newman which could benefit your business is a print audit.

A print audit is a comprehensive assessment of a company’s printing environment, including the devices, usage, costs, and efficiency of printing. The goal of a print audit is to identify areas for improvement, such as reducing waste and costs, and improving productivity.

A print audit can help businesses:

Identify inefficiencies

A print audit can help identify areas where resources are being wasted, such as departments printing more than necessary or printers being underutilised.

Reduce costs

A print audit can help identify areas where costs can be reduced, such as by consolidating multiple devices into one multifunctional printer.

Improve productivity

A print audit can help identify areas where productivity can be improved, such as by upgrading outdated printers.

Improve security

A print audit can help identify areas where device and document security can be improved.

A print audit typically involves collecting data on print activities over a set period, analysing the data to identify areas for improvement and then creating a report with recommendations for improvement.

The process and results of a print audit can vary depending on the size of the organisation and the complexity of the environment.
