Headline Printers Limited

Established in 1984 Headline Printers in Havant is a family-run business, that has grown from one man in a garage to a thriving local business over the last 36 years. The Beginnings David Barraclough served in the Royal Navy from 1963 until 1985. In 1983 David made the decision to leave the service at 40 and decided to teach himself how to print. Printing appealed to him, and was the way forward to starting a new business. Headline Printers was established in 1984 in David's garage in Stakes Road in Purbrook. The first purchases were an A4 Litho press, a photo typesetter and a light box for making litho plates. In 1987 Headline moved to a purpose built print shop, which was also extended onto a premises David purchased.
