Our History

2025
Celebrating 50 Years

As Clinical Print Finishers celebrates 50th years in business in 2025, the company continues to thrive under the leadership of Alvin Brown. What started with a small loan and a second-hand machine has grown into one of the UK's most respected names in print finishing. Through nearly five decades of dedication and innovation, Clinical remains a leader in the industry, proudly carrying on its founder's vision.

1993
Clinical Print Finishers is Born

In the early 1990s, the demand for miniature print finishing had increased so significantly that Senator Print Finishers needed a dedicated space for this type of work. A separate building was purchased, and Clinical Print Finishers became the official trading name for Senator's miniature folding division. This move allowed the company to focus more intensely on this growing niche.

1985
Senator's Growth

By the mid-1980s, Senator Print Finishers had grown to become the largest trade finisher in the country. The demand for miniature folding services was on the rise, and the business steadily expanded. During this period, Alvin purchased his first H & H miniature folding machine, marking a key step in the company's specialisation in miniature print finishing.

1975
The Beginning

In 1975, Alvin Brown founded the company that would later become Clinical Print Finishers, with the help of a £375 loan from his father. After being made redundant for the second time, Alvin decided to start his own business with a second-hand folding machine. The company began as Senator Print Finishers, employing three people and operating out of an old foundry in Loughborough.
