About us

In 1892, The Guildhall Press established itself as a reliable print company, offering the local community with a wide range of print services.

Over the last century, our business has transformed, keeping up with changes to machinery, and developments within the printing industry. However, one element has remained constant – our continual determination to always deliver a top quality job at a competitive price.

With this approach we have been able to overcome a volatile industry. Competitors come and go, but we are proud to have achieved a solid contribution to the printing trade for more than a century, and we’re known as one of the leading print production companies in Northamptonshire.

It’s always good to put faces to names,

so now please let us introduce you to the team!
