Barnard & Westwood is a British printing and bookbinding company. Its primary business is the production of bespoke stationery products for both individuals and businesses, based on traditional techniques and tools. Based in London, the company holds Royal Warrants granted by Queen Elizabeth II (1986) and the Prince of Wales (2012), and is a regular supplier of products and services to the British Royal Family. In addition to its London premises, the company operates an online shop, launched in 2013. .

History

The company was founded by Albert Reginald Barnard, originally a hotel printer who was unable to return to his previous occupation after he was injured in World War I. He approached his aunt, Miss Westwood, for financial backing, and set up his own print shop in 1921. Over the years, the company's reputation has grown to the point where it numbers St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey among its clients. In 2012, the company printed the invitation cards, table plans and orders of service for the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

In 1941, Eddie Kopley - at the time secretary of the International Printers Association - bought a share in the company, beginning a family relationship that continues to this day. Kopley's grandson, Austen, is currently Barnard & Westwood's managing director.
