About Us

We are a family-run company based in the charming Teign Valley in Devon, just 4 miles from Exeter.

We operate from a converted barn on the Culver Estate. Great Matridge is a listed building converted and extended from a deralict ruin in 2000. The restoration was faithful to the buildings original features with oak beams and a grand room with a vaulted ceiling.

In September 2012 we moved from The Old Telephone Exchange in Broadwindsor, Dorset after outgrowing its modest accomodation and facilities, which housed the company for 5 years since we relocated from our first premises Quill House in Markyate, Hertfordshire.

We printed our first set of Headed Notepaper in 1992 and have since become (probably) the largest suppliers of Personal Stationery and Photo Calendars this side of the "Big Pond". Although most of our customers are in the UK, we can ship all over the World.

Kiss the Cook

In July 2012 we acquired Kiss the Cook, a "cottage industry" manufacturing personalised Aprons, embroidered gifts and professional chefs wear. We are pleased to announce that after just 3 months under our ownership the business is thriving and orders are up 500%.
