Richard Edward

Founded over thirty years ago, the vision of our owners was to create a print company that excelled in quality of product and customer service. Investment was focused both on providing the best technology but also in employing experts to deliver the vision. Richard Edward are specialists in delivering high quality print solutions and unique in working with clients to manufacture card based products for use in games, toys, promotions and education. Our team are the heart and soul of our business. They make a difference because they care. We employ experts in the fields of reprographics, machine printing, finishing and logistics. To ensure consistency in service, our facilities and staff will be used to produce work within our competency range. However, we apply the same scrutiny to our supply chain partners in order to guarantee clients that they will get the high service levels Richard Edwards demands of its employees. We are continually striving to continuously improve our operations and training and developing our staff to higher levels plays a key role in our improvement activities. Today, the company operates a 32,000 square foot plant in South East London and employs over fifty staff. We are still managed and owned by our founders and the company remains a family run entity that has made the original vision of 1976 a reality.
