Our concept is a simple one: With the ever-increasing costs of commercial and non-commercial waste disposal, we offer to collect your scrap candle wax and take it away to be recycled and given new life.
After the wax is collected, it is melted down, cleaned, dyed, and scented - all by us, ready to be made into new candles. Browse our current range of scented candles and christmas candles.

QuickPrint Service has its roots in 1961 with Gerald and Maureen Frayne at the helm. Danny and Ann Frayne moved it to its present premises in Sweetbrier Lane, Heavitree. As the client base grew, the first real member of staff started, a lithographic printer. A few years later there was a workforce of five.
Richard Frayne became the first of three to successfully complete a 3-year apprenticeship course at Plymouth Art College for Print as a lithographic printer and more recently has moved into the position of Production Director.
Rebecca Frayne join the business in accounts after gaining a 1st at Cardiff University in leisure tourism and business management.
This millennium the floor space was doubled to accommodate newer and larger digital machinery.
QuickPrint enjoyed our '50 years in business celebration' when we ran several special offers for our customers and staff took part in the Exeter half marathon and commando challenge raising money for local charities.

Our stores have always been hubs for our customers to connect. Each store is different and has a unique community, so we decided to sit down with some of our store managers and get the inside line on what adventures are on offer in their local area.
Our Exeter store manager Duncan is perpetually roaming the Devonshire countryside, from Dartmoor to the North Coast beaches. Below, he walks us through his top picks for easily accessible microadventures around the city: Surf seeking in North Devon, Exploring the wilds of Dartmoor, Stand-Up Paddleboarding in South Devon.
Our Exeter Store is located at 57 High Street and, at time of writing, we’re open for business as usual. (Make sure to check your local store page in case this changes!) We’re looking forward to seeing our community, so pop in and say 'hi!' – whether you want more ideas for local Microadventures or fancy taking a look through our latest products. We can’t wait to see you.

Exeter is a green motoring hotspot, with more sales of electric vehicles than anywhere else in the UK. But what if you want to go electric and can’t charge at home? That’s where we come in.
This exciting initiative will install state-of-the-art electric vehicle chargers in local neighbourhoods across our city; bringing rapid, reliable charging to where you need it. Plus, it’s powered by 100% solar energy that’s generated right here in Devon.
No EV? No problem. A partnership with Co Cars car club means that in many locations there’ll be an electric car available to hire by the hour or day, providing affordable access to electric vehicles for everyone.
Together, we’re making Exeter electric.

Our commitment to Devon is strong, with roots deep in the countryside. It’s what drives us to make sure that everything is done properly – the way that it has been done for generations.
Using traditional farming practices and land rotations enable our fields to remain fertile and full of life.
As well as fruit and veg, we grow a mixture of hay, corn, maize and silage; all of which we are able to feed to our beautiful herd of Ruby Reds within the winter months.
