Let's talk

Corporate reporting (annual reports, interim reports), sustainability/ESG reporting, digital reporting (ESEF compliance), investor relations communications, and shareholder documentation. We also work on the corporate finance side (M&A documents, capital markets prospectuses) through our parent company.
Yes. ESG and sustainability reporting is increasingly important and increasingly regulated. We advise on how to convey IFRS S1/S2 standards, TCFD disclosures, science-based targets, and investor expectations. Many of our clients now produce separate sustainability reports or integrated reports combining financial and ESG content.
Best Practice means your annual report clearly and authentically communicates your strategy and financial performance to investors. It includes: well-structured narrative, compelling visual design, accessible data, recognised best practice structures (Thomson Reuters, Deloitte etc), regulatory compliance (FRC Corporate Governance Code, ESEF, etc.), and measurable investor engagement. We advise on what institutional investors actually want and how they want to engage with you - not just regulatory tick-boxes.
No, not at all. While our expertise is in listed company reporting (annual reports, interim reports, sustainability/ESG reports) for ‘bricks & mortar’ firms, investment trusts and funds wee also work with unlisted and overseas companies, Government teams and those companies preparing for IPO. If your reporting involves regulatory compliance or investor communications, we're a fit.
Absolutely! Post-IPO reporting is one of our specialties. We've guided dozens of newly-listed companies through their inaugural report. We advise on structure, tone, investor expectations, and best practice—not just design and production.
We're typically more than 50% cheaper than major design agencies (Black Sun, Emperor etc) because we're focused and efficient. We're not cheaper than traditional printers because we add genuine value (design consultancy, content advice, around the clock flexibility). Most clients see BCD as better value - more expertise than a regular printer, more focus and flexibility than a major agency.
We have options. If you already have a polished design, we can keep costs down by handling just typesetting and production, or advising on how to meet Best Practice. Alternatively, we have ‘off the shelf’ designs we just tailor to your corporate colours or branding. If you need full service, we can phase work (amortising design costs) or work within fixed budgets. We'll be transparent about trade-offs upfront.
We combine three things most competitors don't: (1) content/strategy consultancy, (2) specialised design, (3) in-house production (typesetting, printing, mailing, digital/ESEF). Most competitors do one or two of these. We do all three, which means you get strategic advice, creative execution, and production certainty in one place.
