1. Octink company credentials

2. Introduction
“Octink is a display specialist who provides services from design and
production through to installation and on-site expertise. Established in
1961, Octink built its reputation in the property sector and has expanded
into a range of new markets, including corporate, commercial, retail, sport
and entertainment, supporting high profile events across the UK and Europe.
Recognised as one of the UK’s greenest companies, we were featured in
the Sunday Times Best Green Companies List in 2010, and have recently
achieved both the ISO 9001 and 14001 standards in recognition of our
quality management processes and environmental systems. We have a
strong sense of social responsibility, which has resulted in a BITC
Community Mark and being an Investor in People since 2002.
The company has adopted the image of an octopus to symbolise its values
of bold, intelligent thinking and the ability to adapt to its environment.”
