Meet the People Who Make It Happen
Steve Lovell – Director / Head Honcho
Steve is our main man and the driving force behind everything sales, marketing, and client success. He started one of Wellington’s first full-colour business card printing companies and now leads Porirua Print with vision, experience, and plenty of stories to tell. He even ran an underground music venue for 14 years alongside the business, providing a home for local musicians during tough times – a true local legend.
Just be warned: if you start a conversation about cryptocurrency or conspiracy theories, make sure you’ve got a couple of hours to spare.
Jackie Nichols – Operations Manager
Fiery red hair, quick wit, and a can-do attitude – that’s Jackie. Our wide-format printing guru keeps everything running smoothly and makes sure every client feels at home the moment they walk in. Jackie joined the team five years ago and has become practically the face of the business, mastering everything from print production to operations management.
Fun fact: she’s contagious – her laugh is known to make even the most stressful deadlines a little easier to handle.
Amy Dean – Lead Designer
Amy has been with Porirua Print since before the merge with Rainbow Creative, and she’s the calm, creative heart of our design team. Whether it’s branding, promotional materials, or complex print projects, Amy brings skill, experience, and a personal touch that puts clients at ease. Proud mum of twins, she’s passionate about great design, has strong opinions on why it costs what it does, and can tell the story of how her best friend ended up with the name “Bob” – all in a day’s work for our design guru.
Aimee Lovell – Admin
Yes, there are now two Aimees – and this one is Steve’s daughter. Don’t let that fool you: she’s indispensable. Aimee knows the business inside and out, learning the ropes from an early age. Today, she manages appointments, keeps the team on track, and builds client relationships – all with her signature cheerful voice. Some might say she’s being lined up to take over one day, but mostly, she’s the person who makes sure everything works behind the scenes and that our clients are always looked after.
Steve Wallace – Finishing
We also have two Steves! This Steve quietly rules the production floor, ensuring every job is perfectly trimmed, laminated, bound, and polished. He also runs his own company but jumps in whenever Porirua Print needs an extra pair of expert hands. Precision, reliability, and zero fuss – that’s Steve.
