A Bristol original.
A Bristol original.
Designing for business since 1895.
We are the oldest and longest-running design agency in the Bristol region. Unique to have a heritage that stretches back to 1895 when Burleigh Ltd was a family firm of printers and designers based in Park Row and subsequently Narrow Lewins Mead, Bristol (and also London). Today, a fifth-generation member of the same family is still one of the team.
Although much has changed in the years since, the passion for graphic design and serving businesses in the region has remained at the forefront.
We are proud to continue to help many of the region’s organisations prosper, with our business-led design services.
