We are well known for the consistent high quality of our work. This is achieved through the use of the latest technology, and a highly skilled work-force. Holbrook and Son Ltd was established in 1850 by Mr Jarvis Tibbits to produce The Portsmouth Times. In 1853 the business was sold to a Mr King, a London solicitor, and in 1860 Richard Holbrook became its owner. Over the next 65 years the newspaper was expanded and printed twice instead of once a week. The business continued to expand to include a daily publication, the Evening Mail and the Isle of Wight Journal. Gradually the company moved into the printing of periodicals and the newspapers were sold in 1926. Over time Holbrooks became specialists in the production of short to medium run magazines and journals. Nowadays the production of weekly, monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly magazines form a large proportion of the workload, the balance being the printing of brochures, exhibiting catalogues, booklets and leaflets.
