Our Heritage

March 1982

In March 1982, Peter and Marion Gladstone-Smith decided to set up a print business after earlier success in the industry in Oxford. This quickly went from strength to strength, gaining large contracts including Devon & Cornwall Police.

Carly Press today is still very much a family affair

The founders’ son Graeme bought the business in 1996 with his wife Kim, then was later joined by their children Carly and Mark. Today Graeme runs the Large Format and Signage department and Carly, not only the company’s namesake, heads up Fulfilment and Dispatch for Web-To-Print customers. Mark has been in place as the Managing Director for the past 15 years.

The Secret?

It’s simple, with a strong focus on customer service, high-quality products and fair pricing. Always one step ahead, the team have moved the business from the small upstairs premises of Wellington town centre, into a large-scale production facility where they now call Chelston Business Park, HQ.
With further development planned, including the aim to make Carly Press one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable print companies in the UK, whilst still staying faithful to the traits that customers have come to know and trust, there is an exciting future in store.

Business Development and Acquisition has been great for us. Buying established, successful print companies has meant we can absorb the work and take on their talented team to add to ours.
