History

Established in Exeter for over 25 years, Short Run Press is widely recognised as one of the UK's leading printers and bookbinders. Owned by the Gliddon and Couch families, it has built a reputation for quality printing and binding and for excellence in service. In recent years two of its founders Andy Gliddon and Murray Couch have been running the business with their three sons Robert Gliddon, Mark and Matthew Couch.


On December 31st 2008 Andy and Murray retired and sold their controlling interest to the three sons who continue the development of the company.
