Draft:CFH Docmail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CFH Docmail Ltd is a multichannel communications provider of print and mail (or print and post), hybrid mail and digital solutions with 30,000 registered users.[1]

Company history

[edit]

Continuforms was founded by Geoff Broadway as a family-run business in 1977.[2]

In 1982 the business was given the authorisation by UK Payment Administration Ltd to print cheques and pin numbers.[3]

In 2008 CFH launched its hybrid mail solution, Docmail, which was the first of its kind on the market. In 2009 Hays invested in Docmail hybrid mail to deliver upwards of 9 million mail packs each year.[4]

In 2011 CFH bought FST Technologies providing manufacturing, service teams and developers in Scotland.[5] Shortly after, in 2012, CFH acquired Print for Business Limited (PRINT.UK.COM).[6]

In 2015 CFH completed a further acquisition, with the purchase of BSS Scotmail.[7]

In 2016 CFH produced 16% of all EU referendum ballot papers for the British electorate.[8]

By 2020 it was estimated that CFH could fulfil 1.1 million letters in a working day[9].

CFH has an ongoing relationship with Canon, and in December 2023 they replaced several traditional toner printers with the Canon VarioPrint iX3200 sheet-fed inkjet press to minimise energy usage and bolster delivery.[10] In 2023 CFH produced and delivered over 66.3 million postal packs.[11]
