EPISODE 1:
In the first episode, we chat to Darren Sedge, owner of Essex based Squeezed Orange print shop. What began as a small startup driven by determination, creativity, and a dream, has grown into a successful print business that inspires others in the industry. Through honest reflections and behind-the-scenes moments, Darren shares the highs and lows of his journey, revealing the grit, growth, and relentless spirit it takes to turn a vision into reality.
Darren launched his first business, ATW Clothing, at just 17 years old, drawing inspiration from his award-winning career as a young Freestyle Jet Ski champion. What began with the basics: an import press and some heat transfer vinyl (HTV), quickly grew to include embroidery machines and screen printing carousels as his skills and ambitions expanded.
Darren shares how his business evolved to embrace the use of heat transfers:
"I hit a fork in the road. The product that was taking off was transfer work. It enabled us to drop the MOQ (minimum order quantity) on like everything we were doing. We turned away alot of work. I'm sure alot of screen printing shops do this, you turn away alot of work as a manual screen printer. Your potential customer is emailing you with some really nice artwork but it's 14 colour and they want like 12 shirts for a new brand. For years we were turning this away. Now we can be like.. hey theres this option".
