Meet Jake Adams,
From Trade Embroidery 

Jake's background in Printed Graphics/signage

I started my journey in print at aged 14 by launching a small-scale mug printing business, initially when I started, I used to provide charities and not for profit organisations in Blackpool with cost effective promotional items and printing services.

After leaving high school I started to grow the business and expand into new areas. Eventually I found myself in the world of embroidery and branded workwear. It was through being on the other side of the table, outsourcing embroidery and clothing that I realised the need for a quality trade exclusive embroidery and branded workwear provider.

​

In my role as Managing Director of Trade Embroidery, I am responsible for the strategic direction of the company as well as overseeing Customer Service, Sales, Marketing and Operations. My role as MD allows me to be in touch with every facet of the company as well as developing and implementing streamlined processes to improve the businesses efficiency for our customers.

​

Why be a part of the Next Generation Committee?

Being apart of the Next Generation Committee alongside FESPA UK is a great honour for me. I am fortunate that as young business owner under 30, I can share my experiences and mistakes with other young people who are starting their career journeys within the print industry. Through the work of the Next Generation Committee, I am confident that we can make the printing industry attractive to young people, leaving education who are looking for a challenging and rewarding career.
