The company TALL Security Print, part of the TALL Group of Companies, has this month printed its 700,000th Nigerian university degree certificate.
As a recent recipient of the Queen’s Award for International Trade and a founding member of the Cheshire Commonwealth Association, the Group’s specialist print arm has already seen a flurry of African client wins. The firm has recommitted to supplying educational certificates to KNEC (Kenyan National Education Council), hosts of the 38th Association for Educational Assessment in Africa Conference, later in the year in Mombasa.
Nigeria will continue to be one of the strongest markets for the print firm in Africa, as the company supplies personalised educational certificates for universities and polytechnics. One reason behind the new growth in Africa is the fraud prevention features across the printed product range.
Educational institutions in Somaliland and Malawi have become the latest clients. Last year saw TALL Security Print sign contracts with 17 universities in Nigeria alone. The first significant international export deal was signed in Nigeria in 2006, which went on to spark the group’s export business that now operates in the Americas, Africa, Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, providing cheque books, ballot papers, cheque scanners, university certificates and electronic payment systems.
TALL meanwhile has confirmed it has issued its 27th million ‘Births, Marriages and Deaths’ certificate for use in the Dominican Republic, on a longstanding contract.
The TALL Group exports to over 20 countries, with products ranging from cheques to vouchers and from certificates to ballot papers for elections. The company was recently nominated for the PD Ports Northern Powerhouse Export Awards.
The TALL Group has two DIT Export Champions within the business; Bill Lamb, Group Finance Director based in TALL Security Print, Runcorn, a Northern Powerhouse Champion, and Lynton Buxton, Group Marketing Manager based in Checkprint Limited, Hinckley, a Midlands Engine Export Champion.
