CFH Docmail (formerly Continuforms, and Continu-Forms Holdings) is a UK-based multichannel communications company specialising in print, mail, and digital solutions. CFH is best known for inventing Docmail, the first Hybrid Mail solution in the UK. [1]
CFH Docmail was founded in September 1977 by Geoff Broadway as a family-operated business focusing on lithographic printing. [2] [3] [4] In 1992, CFH began printing electoral documents, which remains a core service, providing millions of postal vote packs, poll cards, and ballot papers for UK elections. By 1999, the company introduced trans-promotional services, integrating customer data with promotional messaging.
In 2008, CFH launched Docmail, the UK's first hybrid mail solution that combined online technology with Royal Mail delivery, which allowed users to send single or bulk mailings online. [4] [5] [6]
In October 2011, CFH acquired FST Technologies, a Livingston-based document specialist, [7] and in November 2012, acquired the Slough-based Print For Business (PFB) to expand CFH's local post service in Slough. [8]
In 2015, CFH launched Dotpost, a secure digital document delivery and depository portal designed to help organisations send confidential documents. [9] [10] In July, CFH acquired BSS Scotland, a Glasgow-based company that provides print and mail services to businesses and public bodies in Scotland for an undisclosed amount. [11]
In 2021, CFH was selected for the National Health Service (NHS) framework to provide digital document management tools. [12] [13] In 2023, CFH introduced a rebrand and continued investment in advanced commercial printing platforms, including the Canon VarioPrint iX3200 [1] and Xerox Iridesse. [14]
