Orphans Press

Orphans is a dynamic design, web and print agency in the glorious Herefordshire countryside. The company was founded in 1873 as a printing press and we’re very proud to still be a family-run company one hundred and forty-four years later. The presses are still whirring – crafting beautiful printed materials – but we’ve evolved into a renowned web and design agency – creating innovative websites and apps.

Our clients include Pol Roger Champagne, Chase Vodka and Edward Bulmer Natural Paint. The Orphans Press was established by Quaker philanthropist Henry Stanley Newman – a man way ahead of his Victorian counterparts. Originally a greengrocer, he made it his mission to found a home for orphaned children. Henry quickly realised he required a long-term way to fund the home, but also that the children needed to learn a trade if they were to go on and live successful lives after they left their care.

And so the idea of starting a printing press was born. The Orphans Press became a pillar of the local community and the rest, as they say, is history.
