StroudPrint

StroudPrint in its present form dates back to 1999 when the current owner, Chris Griffiths, acquired two Stroud-based companies: Stroud Printing Services and Perfect Choice Printers. Stroud Printing Services was operating as a high-street copy shop and had its origins in the 1970s as a secretarial service. Perfect Choice Printers had a long history as a jobbing offset litho and letterpress printer. Under its previous name, Downfield Press, it had certainly been active back to the 1960s.

The two companies began trading as a single entity after the acquisition and adopted the StroudPrint trading style in 2002. Chris Griffiths didn't have a traditional printing background, but originally trained as an electronics engineer before spending many years responsible for the sales and marketing of high-tech capital goods.
