Services Provided
What Higham Press manages on behalf of clubs and exhibitors
| Entry Management | Accepts both online entries (via highampress.co.uk) and traditional postal entries. Processes and validates each entry against Kennel Club rules before confirming acceptance. |
| Schedule Production | Produces the official show schedule — the document listing judges, classes, prizes, and entry conditions — in both printed and downloadable digital formats. |

| Club Communication | Handles correspondence with exhibitors — confirmations, acknowledgement of entries, and notifications of any changes to judging arrangements or class structure. |
What Makes This Model Unique
The UK show secretary tradition
| Full-Service Outsourcing | Unlike many countries where the club handles all administration internally, UK shows often outsource the entire secretarial function to a specialist company like Higham Press — particularly for larger Championship Shows. |
| The "Press" Heritage | The word "Press" in the company name reflects a long tradition of printing show schedules and catalogs. Professional print quality and layout has always been central to their offering. |
| Judge Liaison | Higham Press coordinates with appointed judges regarding their assignment details, any breed-specific requirements, and ring timing — taking that burden from the hosting club. |
