The Lion Press is a family-run business that has been around since the 1930s. First owned by Ronald Brown, it was handed down to his son Peter, whose daughter Julie now runs the press alongside her business partner, David, her mum, Yvonne, and son Gary, who’s in charge of production.

Over the years, the press has been modernised with the latest cutting-edge printing equipment but our family’s old-fashioned values remain. We put our customers first, providing a fast, reliable, high-quality service that regular clientele have come to depend on.
 
Trusted by businesses big and small, we’re always at the end of the phone and it’s this personal service that has led to long-term relationships with so many satisfied customers.
 
Based in Sandy, Bedfordshire, we provide print services locally and nationally and also have a walk-in, same day service.
