Always at the sharp end
At Bishops Printers, stable and competitive pricing has always been at the heart of our service. While the print industry faces constant fluctuations, we’ve used our experience, strengths, and position as a top 100 printer to shield our customers from rising costs wherever possible and minimise the impact when it’s unavoidable. Our commitment to value is reflected in every quote we provide, which is valid for 30 days.
Bishops have been fantastic over the years and have always gone the extra mile for us. I'd like to say a very big thank you to you and all the team for everything you have done to make my life just that little bit easier when producing a catalogue four times a year.

I just wanted to drop you a line to say how impressed we are by the driver who came from Bishops today. From a customer service perspective you couldn't put a nicer man in front of your clients and he has been consistently good throughout the time we've dealt with you.
Richard L - Trade Print Client
Thank you for the excellent print job on this year’s Annual. We are really happy with how it’s turned out. Making the time to come and see us, and offer some advice on how to handle the colours and layout better was really useful. It’s the publication we are most pleased with to date. I also wanted to thank you for your help and patience with getting the print files right as I know we had some problems there. Really impressed with the service.
Natasha & Jamie, Resident Marketing Team
Excellent, thank you. You're a joy to deal with by the way :-)
Nick F - Trade Print Client
