Bishops Printers has been a family run business based in the water front city of Portsmouth since 1985. From humble beginnings with a staff of just three people and a small 2-colour printer in a garage, we now employ over 180 people at our 85,000 square foot facility. Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week we offer state of the art B2 lithographic and digital printing as well as machine and hand finishing, all underpinned with a next generation print management system.We offer print solutions from a small batch of leaflets to thousands of brochures or reports.

The Bishops' name comes from the original business owner, Colin Bishop, who ran an arts, crafts and copy shop on Hayling Island. It was called 'Bishops Prompt Printers'. The name was retained by Martin Murphy, our Chairman, when he bought the business in 1985. Our focus on delivering quality print at a fair price, teamed with a friendly and efficient service has seen our family-run business grow to become a significant local employer and a top 100 UK print business.With our unmarked delivery fleet of 10 vehicles, we're one of Portsmouth's best kept secrets.

Imagine a world without a printed certificate of achievement from school, College or University; the programme from the football match, theatre or event that reminds you of your day; the catalogues and directories you refer back to; the brochure you pick up because you like the cover, the flyer you notice on a board, the printed instructions, thank you cards, posters on the streets or in the shops; the printed material that's drawn you in, piqued your curiosity about a place, an offer, an object or occasion, and so much more.
