WHEN Paul Gerrard, managing director of Pageworks, started the company in 1988 as a one-man desktop publisher, working from home, he never envisaged how the business would change or that one day he would see Canon’s flagship production printing press coming through his roof. He remembers Pagework’s early days with affection and says, “We quickly grew to employing three staff and then moved into premises with a local print company. I then brought a couple of smart young designers on board, at which point I felt happy in calling ourselves a design studio as opposed to simply desktop publishers.”
