The Letter Press was established in 1986 by Anthony Eyre, who learnt his printing skills on an Adana whilst at Stonyhurst College, and later with the William Morris Society on an ex-Kelmscott Press Albion. During the last days of letterpress printing in Fleet Street Anthony managed to salvage a Vandercook proofing press, with which he started printing.
The plant doubled in size with the arrival of a Cropper Charlton treadle, which is still in use at The Letter Press today. As business grew Kate Rous, with marketing experience from both branches and the head office of WH Smith, became a partner and was instrumental in developing our trading links with the John Lewis Partnership and other trading outlets.

I found The LPC randomly on the web for our wedding invites. We live in Italy yet half of our friends are in UK hence we wanted a very English approach and found the perfect solution. You could not ask for more than efficiency, professionalism and human-ness in this very (too) techy world! I will definitely recommend and probably use again for personal stationery.
Grazie mille to you all. Carole & Vincenzo, Milan

We last had dealings with Letter Press many years ago so, when we decided to have some business cards printed, we are amazed and impressed that our previous records were swiftly located. From then on we received nothing but friendly and efficient service. Our proof corrections were promptly dealt with and, as by now we were running out of time, our order was delivered early and arrived on the exact day promised. So well done Letter Press and thank you.

Renee and her production team at The Letterpress provide an excellent end to end personalised service. We had to quickly organise some smart but fun invitations for a party. I knew what I wanted but couldn't quite come up with the perfect artwork. Renee guided me through the choices of different boards, inks and fonts. Sue produced the artwork. After a couple of tweaks and a day later I received the call to tell me that my beautiful invitations were ready for collection. They were fab and exceeded my expectations. Thank you "Team Letterpress". Lizzie

I used The Letter Press of Cirencester about 9 years ago and I used them again recently to create new business letter-headed paper using my new logo; and they were absolutely fantastic!! I cannot thank them or rate them enough. Their advice was invaluable and attention to detail is fantastic. The end result is that they created letter-headed paper that I am proud of...crucially, the finish and quality of paper is beautiful.

Having struggled for some 10 days with local printers, who couldn't manage to produce a proper font style or decent white cards, for the At Home invitations I wanted, or even envelopes that properly fitted the cards they did offer, I was in complete desperation.. My wife reminded me that we'd had printed writing paper from Letter Press, a few years ago, so I contacted the company. Within 3 days, I had received a first proof and, following revision, a second proof, which - you can tell my previous desperation - I greeted with an exclamation I wouldn't normally dream of using : 'b...... y perfect
