About
ink-n-paper
ink-n-paper
opened its doors for the first time in May 2004 to
much speculation as to whether such a business model
would succeed within the vicinity it chose. Almost
three years on, ink-n-paper has started to become
a well recognised company
by carefully selecting and offering the correct products
and services the area required. Throughout the second
year of trading, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly
and annual figures have been analysed to follow the
areas of departmental growth, and now finally at the
end of its third year, ink-n-paper is proud to announce
a 136% growth upon year
one.
And
now the creative genuis has struck gold again and
launched the
biggest thing ever to hit the South Cheshire area,
if not globally...

Giles
Cross founded ink-n-paper after returning from living
in Los Angeles, California,
for ten years during which time he designed graphics,
created animation and composed music for television.
He also briefly acted on stage and on set.
Cross
says, "Music is my ultimate passion, I've written
over 300 songs of which
I'm about to re-record and start to publish the first
50 of them this year. 2007 is going to be a busy year
for me, especially with the new Tarporly Podcast project"
Says
Cross, "I grew up in Cheshire, but my early days
of employment took me around the UK, and it offered
me the chance to look farther afield and quickly discover
geography and travel. After doing the obligatory stint
in London, I decided to follow my dreams and head for
Hollywood."
While
living only a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean, Cross
also worked in the oil industry as a Special Projects
Manager working closely with municipal contracts, bids
and large industrial plants and commercial users such
as the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (LACMTA) and the Department of Water &
Power (DWP). "I loved the oil business. I was well
received within the industry whereupon I was offered
countless opportunities to see first hand the functions
of a variety of industries, such as working closely
within the food industry with several Coca Cola bottling
plants, becoming involved with the largest solar energy
farm in the world (4,500 acres using large 500 megawatt
dish shaped mirrors) based in the Mojave desert, and
also various packaging plants, machine shops and multiple
marine clients in the Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbours.
"I've
had a weird and wonderful life with multiple twists
and turns throughout my varied journey, but the experiences
I validate as important parts of my life have been looked
upon as mistakes by others. I wouldn't be where I am
today without making the odd mistake here and there,
and like so many of us there are a few things I'd like
to obviously go back and change, but overall, I couldn't
be happier with my current position. I do miss LA though,
it allowed me to roam free and discover
a different me, one that I am suppressed to be in the
UK, but I do intend to pick up where I left off back
in Hollywood. I'm in no rush. It's just that the people
in the UK are different, and it's only because the weather
makes them all fed up and miserable. LA is a happy place
because the climate is awesome, dude!"

"I
brought back the best of the big city life
and am offering it to the rural communities." |
So
where to from here? Cross is insistent on growing ink-n-paper
and expanding into other
rural high streets across the country. "There's
a definite need for what my company offers to businesses
and private consumers. They appreciate the location
and the time I save them by not having to travel long
distances and waste half a day discussing something
that can be done at ink-n-paper."
"We
offer the flexibility to get on with an important day
without sacrificing it by spending hard earned money
on travel costs and parking tickets. I brought back
the best of the big city life and am offering it to
the rural communities."
