IT TOOK Martin Gibbs just four months to get his multi-million pound project off the ground.
Now the managing director is reaping the dividends after his printing firm at Romsey, which officially opened this week, bagged some big name clients.
Hamtun Colour, which employs 16 people, landed contracts with P&O Cruises, ferry company Red Funnel, financial services group Friends Provident, the Save the Children charity and Eastleigh and Test Valley borough councils.
Martin said: "This represents an unprecedented investment both in terms of new technology, and the people skills necessary to deliver its benefits."
The firm took its name from the Anglo-Saxon port settlement of Southampton.
