Our Mission
To help charities, schools and businesses operate more efficiently by providing practical, cost-effective and reliable solutions across print, product sourcing, personalisation, storage, fulfilment and distribution.
We understand the challenges organisations face today, from limited budgets and stretched resources to increasing administrative demands and the need to deliver high-quality experiences for customers, supporters, staff and stakeholders.
Our role is to simplify the process of sourcing, producing, storing, managing and delivering the printed materials, promotional products, fundraising goods and everyday essentials that organisations need to succeed.
By providing a single, experienced partner from design and sourcing through to storage, fulfilment and delivery, we help our customers save valuable time, reduce administrative workloads, make better use of their resources and minimise the costs and complexities of managing these activities in-house.
With our flexible approach, personal service and decades of experience, we tailor our solutions to meet the individual needs of every organisation we work with.
Ultimately, our aim is simple:
To take the complexity out of print, products and fulfilment, giving charities, schools and businesses more time, greater flexibility and the freedom to focus on what they do best.
We deliver affordable, high-impact printing tailored for charities, schools, and businesses.
From donation-driving appeal letters and school communications to eye-catching marketing and campaign materials, we manage everything from concept to delivery. The result: clear, compelling communications, controlled costs, and a message that’s delivered consistently, professionally, and with real impact.
We create high-quality, bespoke merchandise for charities, schools, and businesses—helping you bring your purpose to life and build stronger connections with your audiences. From custom-branded clothing and school items to corporate merchandise and meaningful gifts, every product is designed to tell your story, spark engagement, and support the work you do.
We provide end-to-end packing and fulfilment services for charities, schools, and businesses helping you operate more efficiently and focus on what matters most. By managing the operational and financial complexities behind campaigns, sales, and distribution from customer support to logistics, we free up your time, resources, and budget. The result is greater efficiency, transparency, and sustainable growth, so more of your revenue goes towards making a real impact.
We publish affordable, beautifully designed cards that help charities, schools, and businesses raise funds, engage their audiences, and build stronger connections. With a wide range of designs for every occasion, our cards support income generation, community engagement, and lasting relationships, so you can focus on making a meaningful impact.
What makes us different...
Established in 1999 by Iain Shaw, Dash (UK) Ltd is an independently owned, family-run business providing tailored print, personalised products, sourcing and fulfilment services to charities, schools and businesses across the UK.
With over 25 years in business and more than 30 years of experience working closely with the charity and voluntary sector, we have developed a deep understanding of the challenges organisations face. From managing budgets and limited resources to delivering
campaigns, engaging supporters, promoting a brand or managing day-to-day operations, we believe the best solutions are those that combine practical thinking, reliability and value for money.
What began as a business focused on publishing and fulfilment, particularly Christmas cards for charities, has grown into a comprehensive service offering spanning design, product development, print sourcing and management, personalised merchandise, procurement, storage, packing, mailing and distribution.
In 2019, Iain’s wife, Annette, joined the Board of Directors and now oversees the day-to-day running of the business, leading our design and customer service teams. Together, Iain and Annette provide hands-on leadership, supported by an experienced team committed to delivering a personal, responsive and dependable service.
We understand that no two organisations are the same. Whether you are a charity looking to maximise fundraising income, a school seeking cost-effective resources and promotional materials, or a business wanting to strengthen its brand and reach its customers, we take the time to understand your objectives and develop solutions that work for you.
Our complete “design to delivery” service brings together creative expertise, product sourcing, production management and fulfilment under one roof. Working with a trusted network of UK and international manufacturing and production partners, we can identify the most appropriate products and solutions for each project, balancing quality, cost, timescales and individual requirements. Wherever possible, we also consider environmental impact and seek sustainable, responsible production options.
At Dash, we believe good service is about more than supplying products. It is about building relationships, understanding what matters to our customers and taking the complexity out of getting things done. From a single print project to a fully managed campaign or ongoing fulfilment requirement, we offer the flexibility to adapt, the experience to find practical solutions and the commitment to see every project through.
Dash combines the personal service of a family business with the experience, flexibility and expertise to support organisations of all sizes. Whatever your sector, we are here to help you communicate effectively, work more efficiently and achieve more with your budget.
