Karl in a few words
I have a self-motivated approach to deliver a professional service for business success, throughout my career, whilst recognising and fully embracing the power of the team and wider strategic partnerships, to deliver a quality of product and service to clients.
Although my roles have been primarily new business/sales related, account development, project management and consultation skills have been key to my successes.
I have developed and established strong professional relationships with many clients throughout my career. Many relationships that have been in place for 10+ years. Business relationships built on trust and honesty. Identifying and understanding client’s business and their marketing and VM requirements. Providing POS and display solutions to assist them in delivering success to their businesses. A strategic approach to campaign management to coordinate with multi-channel marketing.
I have fully embraced the culture, strengths and strategy of the businesses I have worked for and shared their visions. With a personal commitment and drive to help them deliver success in line with their plans.
My personal exposure to the industry has allowed me to amass a great breadth and depth of the industry and client’s market sector knowledge, which has allowed me to take key projects from concept, through creative and production processes to final delivery.
Following 35+ years of print industry experience I took the plunge and established kolour solutions ltd. This allowed me to use the extensive knowledge and associated skills to widen the scope of services that I can offer to existing clients, new clients and strategic supply partners.

I have worked with Karl for several years now both during my time at Intersport UK and now at Women in Football. I would happily and confidently recommend Karl to anyone considering working with him / looking for a print specialist.
Karl's expert knowledge and insights from a print perspective are unrivalled, but for me personally, his creative outlook, commitment to finding viable solutions, flexibility, dedication and continued support and trustworthiness are what make Karl stand out from competitors.
