About Us

The history and ongoing mission of APM Graphics Management

A short history

The company was established in England during 1983 as a graphic art and media buying facility acting as a conduit between UK provincial newspapers and their advertisers.

In 1988 the business opened a small typesetting studio in Australia which quickly developed into the operation it is today, offering graphic design, editing, photography, printing, distribution, mailing and, of course, the original professional typesetting.

We maintain a grass roots approach with a strong focus on client/supplier empathy, attention to detail and an almost pathological drive to be the most efficient providers in our industry.

Management lies at the heart of everything we do. All too often skilled professionals and tradespeople alike diminish the value of their services through simple mismanagement. For us, project management is king.

We make no grandiose claims about doing more than others, we just do it better.

Our mission

As a specialist team of graphics professionals backed by over twenty years of experience in the graphics industry the mission of APM Graphics Management is:

  • to provide our clients with an efficient, one-stop facility for the total production and optimisation of their visual communications
  • to maximize the return on investment made by our clients in their visual communications
  • to provide the highest levels of professional service delivered with confidence, understanding and courtesy
  • to achieve excellence through a process of continuous improvements to our management systems, technologies, people and skills
  • to provide quality of our products and services as the highest priority and as the equal responsibility of each one of us.

I collected the books today and am absolutely stoked with them. They have a really substantial/quality feel, and it's great to know that they've had so much effort poured into them. They're already on the shelves of every Hobart bookshop (even the Tasmanian Map Centre and two chandleries), with an inspection copy on its way to the ABC shop HQ in Sydney. There are even orders for a box from the UK.

Thanks to everyone for ensuring that we have maintained our timetable. A very good job by all concerned under difficult and tight timing constraints.

Ken Winters, BMA Gold Limited

We regret very much the last minute changes to our Annual Report and thank you Pam, for working through the night to reset the text. We also appreciate your efforts to get us back on schedule with the printers such that delivery deadlines were unaffected.

Michael Turbott, Austpac Resources NL

Great! Received the proofs today and they look fantastic. It is the first time I haven’t had to make a single change. You are both like Angels - thank you. See you next week.

Suzy Wolanski, Sydney Jewish Holocaust Museum

Again, many thanks for your help and expertise in the design and editing of the Prospectus. You were all very patient, particularly when hysteria levels just kept on rising!!!

Rosemary Courtney , Martin Place Securities Pty Ltd

I just wanted to thank you and your team for the professionalism in producing the Annual Report for iCash. iCash has a propensity to ‘change its mind' regularly and at all times your guys kept their cool – the end product does both our organisations proud.

John Bird, iCash Payment Systems Limited

We just wanted to thank you both for all your help in getting our work out on time. A very personal thank you from me for your great kindness and patience with me on this, my first marketing project. I don’t know how many people would give so much of their time and energy to explain and educate. It has certainly helped me to understand how much you do for your clients. Unlike some I do not take this sort of thing for granted.

Valerie Lord, Swaab Attorneys

It is timely to say that we are very proud of the latest report. It has received many compliments, and we owe a great deal to you for the impact of the presentation of our company activities. The report looks strong, it looks industrial, it looks highly relevant to our business and there is a sharpness about the pages that is very positive.

Mike Smith, Austpac Resources NL

Thank you for putting together this year’s Annual Report. Everyone who has seen it has praised the presentation and the way you have made the report look different without losing the established corporate feel. It has been a very smooth and professional production process.
