Edwards Brothers Malloy: Making Change Their Friend

"When you get people in a room together and they start to see each other's perspective, it helps to break down walls," Edwards notes.

About five years ago, then-Edwards Brothers unveiled gps Global Print Solutions, a distributive print and distribution model that was ahead of its time. The idea was to form a solution—printing on "both sides of the pond"—that could enable publishers to cost-effectively manage their international printing needs by reducing time to market and diminishing the costs associated with shipping and maintaining inventory. Edwards had explored the possibility of partnering with a United Kingdom print provider 10 years earlier.
