Marathon Visual Media has all your graphics and communication needs covered – whether print or digital (electronic) – and they're trusted by clients to do the mahi (work) on budget and on time.

Both arms of the Tauranga-based business won accolades at this year's Most Trusted Business Awards.

The Marathon-owned franchise Printing.com Tauranga took Tauranga's Most Trusted Print Services title, while Marathon Visual Media itself grabbed the Runners Up Tauranga's Most Trusted Print Services honour.

Owner Steve Harwood says Marathon Visual Media holds the franchise for printing.com for the Tauranga area. 'This is our retail-facing arm, part of a nation-wide network providing the best in print technology through our production hub in Wellington.

'Printing.com looks after SME business clients, local authors and people with a one-off print project. 'Marathon Visual Media is the main driver of the business and services a wide variety of local business and corporate clients plus partners with local government throughout the central North Island to fill their print and digital communication needs.”

Steve says the double-win is a massive coup for Marathon's eight staff who work across the business. 'Apart from being thrilled to be winners it also reinforces that the products and especially the service we deliver for our customers is the right fit for them.”

Steve says Marathon Visual Media has diversified into one-stop-shop provider for everything graphics and communication related – both digital and print.

'Any which-way clients want to send stuff out, we'll do it for them. We can get information out to everyone.” And they're trusted to do it too!
