Ex-Friary School pupil David Hitchman founded [Soccerprint.co.uk](http://soccerprint.co.uk/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) from his bedroom in 2007, designing, printing and shipping personalised t-shirts to football fans worldwide.

He has since extended to premises on Britannia Way where he also offers a t-shirt printing service.

With three staff and recent investment in new equipment, the company is now gearing up for the start of the football season with a host of new designs.

Aston Villa fan David said:

> “I started creating t-shirt designs as a hobby for family and friends but they proved a hit with football fans and I soon went full time to keep up with demand. August is always a busy time because fans want to show their colours for the new season, whoever they support, and it’s looking like this year will be the same.  
>  
> “We’ve supplied shirts to fans in Norway, USA, Croatia, Australia and we’re constantly getting requests for new designs but it’s just as nice to be able to supply shirts to fans of local clubs like Chasetown and Shenstone Pathfinder.  
>  
> “We’ve seen a huge increase over the last couple of years in particular. Perhaps it’s because we offer a cheaper alternative to expensive football shirts or maybe it’s because fans can personalise their shirts with their favourite team, favourite player or favourite match.  
>  
> “Over the last few years we’ve extended the range beyond football and we also offer a local printing service which gives people a chance to choose any design for stag and hen parties, sports tours and school leavers for example. The possibilities for personalised designs are literally endless.”
