We’re excited to have worked with John Heath on the artwork and printing of his powerful book, Post, Post, Post – The Wartime Writings of Private Arthur Heath.

This deeply moving collection offers a rare and personal glimpse into the experiences of Private Arthur Heath during wartime, through his heartfelt letters and writings. It was an honour to bring this important work to life, and we’re proud to have been part of preserving such a significant piece of history.

John wrote us wonderful testimonial: “I hadn't dealt with TypeStart Crest before but I was hugely impressed, both from my introductory chat with Caroline and throughout the production process with the professional, efficient and friendly level of service and with the very helpful feedback and suggestions regarding production. I was delighted with the finished product, a view of which I have no doubt that my late father would also have endorsed. I recognise this is a team effort, so a huge thank you to Caroline, Bill and the whole team.”

Thank you, John, for trusting us with this project. We can’t wait to work with your again in the future.

Publishing is at the core of our business, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to support Kou and Dave with the artwork and printing of their incredible book, Great Overland Road Trip.

This captivating book chronicles their unforgettable journey across the open road, sharing their experiences, challenges and the stunning landscapes they encountered along the way.

Dave generously shared a kind review, saying, “The staff were incredibly helpful and patient. They handled both the printing of our book and the setup of the artwork, and they did a great job.”

It was a true pleasure to collaborate with Kou and Dave, and we look forward to partnering with them again on their next exciting adventure.

At TypeStart Crest, we’re always honoured to support our clients with their print and publishing needs. It’s moments like this that truly make our work rewarding!

We had the pleasure of publishing "She's One Crazy Lady!" by Glennis Hooper, a deeply moving and inspiring story behind the Crazy Hats Appeal Charity. The book shares the incredible journey of the charity, which raised an astonishing £3.4 million over twenty years, making a profound impact on breast cancer care in Northamptonshire.

It’s a story written from the heart, one that will resonate with anyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer. We’re so grateful for the kind words and feedback from Glennis:

"Having worked with this wonderful team twice, on both occasions I have been thrilled with the finished products. The standard of presentation is first class as is the service they provide. A great company to work with - lovely people!."

Thank you, Glennis, for trusting us with such a special project. We are proud to have played a part in sharing this important story with the world! 🌟

Crest’s Story

Here at Crest we have been helping people to achieve great looking publications since 1993. We pride ourselves on being a very friendly team, who will go that extra mile to ensure that our customers are happy.

Our core business initially specialised in working with British military establishments creating stylish journals for individual regiments, corps and training units. Whilst we still do a huge amount of army literature, we have also broadened our horizons and produce all manner of publications.

Our sectors include everything from military, education, horticultural, local history and more. We now publish a variety of journals, booklets, magazines, and even interactive online copies.
