The Russell Press was established in 1968 by the Bertrand Russell Peace
Foundation to provide a supportive and cost-effective printing service to the
voluntary sector - an ethos that remains central to the company today.
Our roots and structure make it easy for us to understand the needs of charities
and campaigning organisations and natural for us to support their priorities.

Like most industries, printing has undergone a revolution in the past twenty
years - and the pace of change shows no sign of slowing. It's not just the basic
processes of printing, but the whole nature of communication that has been
transformed by innovative technology and new media.
The Russell Press has embraced these changes and remains committed to ongoing
investment in new plant and facilities ot take full advantage of the
opportunities offered by the latest technology.
And yet some things remain unchanged. Print is still the most popular, versatile
and cost-effective medium for communicating to the general public - especially
for voluntary organisations seeking to produce a range of readily accessible
materials and resources for education, service provision, campaigning and
fundraising.
For us too, some things are constant. The Russell Press has deliberately and
proudly remained a general printer, producing everything from stationery to
bound books.
We give every job the same level of care and attention to ensure that it's
produced correctly, on time and within budget.
And before a job's even started we're happy to help with advice and support in
any way we can - our aim is to look after the complicated side of printing so
that for our clients it's as simple as possible.
Perhaps, that's why, amongst the other things that change little, are the names
of our customers.
"The Trust's demanding publications programme requires a reliable and efficient
print service from a supplier who can deliver on time and to budget. The Russell
Press meets all these requirements in full"
