MELTON PRINTERS OF LINCOLN - David Stroud, Managing Director
Melton Printers is a sheet fed litho printers based in Lincoln. The company was purchased by David Stroud in 1985. David kept the name of Melton Printers as it was an old established business believed to have been started in Lincoln around 1826.

David then worked in various management positions in the printing industry for different types of general printers as well as newspapers, and during this time worked for 6 years as a consultant to the industry. The result is 40 plus years of experience in all aspects of printing from the shop floor to Managing Director.
