Company
A multi-disciplinary services company built in Arua
Gophine Services brings IT, printing, designing & branding and photography together under one roof, so organisations can brief once and get work that fits.
Who we are
Gophine Services began in 2019 as a small printing shop in Arua, Uganda. We started with posters, business cards and school prospectuses — simple jobs that needed to be done well, on time and at a fair price.
As clients asked for more, we grew with them. They needed design, so we added designers. They needed networks, computers and point-of-sale systems, so we built an IT team. They needed professional photos and event coverage, so we opened a studio capability. Today we are a four-pillar service company: IT, Printing, Design & Branding, and Photography.
We work with schools, NGOs, health facilities, traders, hotels and district offices — organisations that need work done properly the first time and support afterwards. Most of our clients come to us because they are tired of coordinating four suppliers to launch one thing.

The founders
Gophine Services is owner-run. The people who quote your job are the same people accountable for delivering it.

Our mission
Make quality business services simple and reachable
We exist to remove the friction between a great idea and a finished product. Whether it is a network, a brand identity, a print run or a photo shoot, we make it easy for organisations in Uganda to get professional results from one accountable team.
Our vision
Become the region's trusted creative and technical partner
We want Gophine Services to be the first name organisations across West Nile think of when they need technology, design, print and visual content. We are building toward a regional partner that is fast, reliable and deeply invested in the success of its clients.

Core values
One accountable team
Your network, your print run and your photography sit with the same people. No finger-pointing between suppliers when a deadline moves.
Written before started
Every job begins with a scope and a price in writing. You approve it before we buy anything or go to press.
Built to be handed over
Labelled cabling, documented installs, editable source files. What we deliver stays usable long after we leave.
Local and reachable
We are in Arua and we answer the phone. On-site support is a drive away, not a support ticket in another country.
Where we are heading
The next chapter for Gophine Services is about becoming a regional partner, not just a local supplier. We are investing in better equipment, faster turnarounds, and a team that can handle larger, more complex projects across West Nile and beyond.
Our goal is to give every client — from a single shop to a district institution — access to the same professional standards they would expect in a major city, delivered by a team that understands their context and is reachable when they need help.
What that means for our clients
- More services under one roof — less time spent managing multiple vendors.
- Faster delivery with in-house printing, design, IT and photography teams.
- Stronger, more consistent brand output across every medium.
- A local partner that grows with your organisation and is accountable for results.
