Supplier Testimonials

"FUJIFILM have dealt directly with Ryedale Group since December 2009.
RG previously used FUJIFILM products via a now defunct dealer.  In that time we've established a good 2-way dialogue with Steve, and various members of his team.  We were involved at an early stage with supporting RG's latest press installation, which required new plate imaging equipment.
Negotiations were "harsh but fair", and conducted with utmost integrity. Steve was willing to consider innovative financing options in order to procure a technically superior solution which offered best-value and continuity to RG.  FUJIFILM look forward to strengthening our partnership with Ryedale Group, as it continues to innovate and grow.”
Best regards,
Grahame Megilley, Business Development Manager, Fujifilm Graphic Systems.

 
"I have personally known Ryedale for a good number of years. I started in the industry as an engineer and was heavily involved in the relocation of the Ryedale factory from Helmsley to Kirkbymoorside. Now Ryedale has installed the very latest, fully automated Komori Lithrone LSX 529+C, especially specified for printing on plastic and film. The UV drying equipment is at the very forefront of technology allowing the company to cure plastic material in the most efficient way possible, with a fraction of the power usage and without heat buildup.
Here is a company which has become successful because of its unique willingness to broaden its horizons and experiment with a wide range of unproven products and processes. As a result of strategic thinking and planning, Ryedale has built a customer base that includes many household names, and must be envied by many of the long established "traditional” printing companies that today fight for volume and margin in the fiercely competitive commercial printing sector.
The company has invested heavily in the most state of the art production equipment and even been involved in designing and commissioning its own robot!
Yet despite this forward thinking, innovative style, the company has a very old fashioned loyalty to its suppliers and the people it knows and trusts, which has all but disappeared from the modern business environment. Whilst Ryedale is loyal to the companies it works with, it can be very demanding.”
Kind regards

"Working with Ryedale has been a most enjoyable and rewarding experience over the many years of our ‘partnership’.
Developing new products is done with ease and a good deal of time is put into making the products work with detailed feedback for us to continually improve ensuring all parties run efficiently.

Any problems are dealt with openly and together to find the best way forward that works for both parties.
The whole Ryedale team from directors to shop floor are professional, astute and easy to work with.”

"We are proud to have been supplying Ryedale for many years and during that time we have found them to be professional, friendly and above all they pay on time ...all the time!”

"Ryedale Group have been a Screen customer for many years and have embraced our technology to add value and to improve efficiencies in their production process. Ryedale were an early adopter of our computer-to-plate technology which allowed them to produce a much higher standard of quality than traditional methods.
Not afraid to invest, Ryedale have shown loyalty to Screen by upgrading their existing system after eight years of production and staying ahead with the latest generation of this technology.

The implementing and investigating of new equipment doesn’t stop here. Screen has been developing advanced inkjet technology over recent time and Ryedale have always been attentive and interested when we have presented it to them. This has involved providing materials for us to trial for the benefit or both our organisations.
I look forward to our continuing mutual cooperation and doing business in the future. "

''I have worked with the Ryedale Group for over 20 years, supplying printing substrates for the Horticultural and Phone Card markets, Ryedale have always been a tough but fair account to manage.
Their business model has developed a company which has grown on its own strengths; the ability to go the extra yard is expected of their suppliers. They keep at the fore front of technology and consistently push the boundaries of print.
I look forward to working with Ryedale for many years to come.''

"With regards to my dealings with Ryedale Group, I would like to give you my views as follows:
Ryedale have always asked for a very high level of technical support due to the innovative nature of their work.  They work to very tight schedules both on current work and new projects and consequently require a high level of service and response.  I think that a quick response is in-built within Ryedale's culture and consequently the suppliers are expected to offer the same level of response. I have found Ryedale to be a very loyal customer, preferring to build a long term partnership with suppliers however the partnership does not allow for standards to deteriorate. "
