Martin Burnett - Running A Print Business in The Digital Age

Martin Burnett is the director of the marketing design agency Nettl in Melksham. He joins Allan on More Than Just Property to talk about how he got his passion for design, how college was a transformative time for him, his love of racing, and all about his career running a print business. Apologies for the audio in this one, it was so unbearably hot we had to have the windows open.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Nettl is a design agency aimed at the global market covering everything from websites to print. The print aspect could be business cards, t-shirts, or even a large banner, essentially everything you need to market your business.
• The freedom that studying at college gave Martin was transformative. He learned much better in an environment that treated him like an adult, not a child. Although he still bunked off and didn’t do his work when he was supposed to, he was lucky enough to have a computer at home where he could do all his work.
• As a business owner you need to accept that you can’t do it all yourself and that you should always be looking forward for new innovations and even people who can improve your company.
• The journey of the person setting up their business has changed. People used to go to a print business and end up having their logos done for example as well as what they came in for. Now they have all their web design and logos all done before they come in for their business cards.
