Fairport Convention - and its various off shoots, have been making albums since 1967. We set up our own label Woodworm Records and our own festival Cropredy...

We still have our own label “Matty Grooves” and all our CD and Vinyl manufacturing has been done under the watchful eye of John Garrad and his crew at Akcentmedia. To say they have been helpful would be a gross understatement, for not only us (as long standing performers), but also the young artistes that we have recommended Akcentmedias services to have all benefitted from their knowledge, advice and great care in getting the best results. They print books too and did an amazing job on my”off the Pegg” book. Check them out.

I am pleased to recommend Akcent as a book printer. In my position as Director of Production at Liverpool University Press I have been sending litho work to Akcent for many years...

The prices are very competitive and the turnaround times are excellent, but the books are always printed to the highest quality, with vibrant colours and top-notch materials and binding. But above all, the customer service is excellent: responsive, friendly, and helpful. I am a very satisfied Akcent customer.

I've worked with Akcent Media for two and a half years now, and only have good things to say about them...

Nick and his team are courteous, efficient, deliver on time for the price agreed and are always happy to answer the numerous questions I seem to have for them as a still novice publisher… I wholeheartedly recommend them as a business to work with.

We have dealt with Akcent Media for many years and they have produced most of our products. The staff are always helpful and informative in many ways...

We often refer them to our customers and they in turn have placed orders with Akcent and have been very happy with the service and in fact, we always recommend them to other companies that we deal with that need a quality service. We cannot fault them and if you are looking for good service they're the ones to contact.

Akcentmedia is an altogether outstanding family-run printing business: a small team of experts offering prompt, efficient, friendly service at extremely competitive prices.

They have, father and son, produced six albums and one book of poetry of mine to date. I’ve been delighted with the quality of the finished product in every case. The CDs and perhaps especially the book, exceed the standards set by many big-name publishing houses. John Garrad put me in touch with two people who were able to enhance the design of the CD artwork. He advised me on the complex business of barcoding, producing ISRCs and obtaining barcodes and oversaw the whole process of physical production with grace and ease. He then introduced me to his son, Nick, for the work on my latest poetry book and I found myself again in the company of a superb team who helped me choose papers, colours, boards, typefaces and more. This gives the client a degree of control over the finished product that many authors lack. I have seen their library of books they’ve designed and printed. It contains work by many well-known authors and publishing houses. Yet Nick and Tim give the same excellent service to all their clients. I recommend them wholeheartedly and will soon be taking them my next book.

Thank you so much for Editing and Printing my book, The 3 Pillars Feeding the Homeless. I ordered 500 books, and your companies service was excellent from start to finish.

I have now sold over 400 books and the general reaction from those who purchased it, was one of great surprise at the Quality of it. I have had no negatives comments. So thanks again Nick, and I will certainly recommend your Company.
