The company was founded in Blackburn by Fred Henry Pickering in 1975. Fred left his job in the teaching profession to follow his dream of making his mark in the world of business. From a modest start printing tickets for local shows and concerts, it wasn’t long before Fred found himself back in the education arena. His decision to expand into producing and printing quality exercise books, and later on adding other educational resources, was the first step to the business becoming the success it is today.

Fred was succeeded by his son David in 1999, who still runs the business in its hometown of Blackburn.
