PDQ is a happy, upbeat bunch of creative professionals living in a big house in Suffolk. We love designing, typesetting, illustrating, cakes, making PDFs and all sorts of other stuff. Fonts; scripts; brown paper packages tied up with string; coffee.
PDQ was established in 1992 by Paul Dossett (hence the PD – the Q stands for Quality). We're situated in the beautiful Waveney Valley on the Norfolk/Suffolk border where Paul and the team built up a reputation in book design and reprographics that earned the attention and partnership of some of the world's largest publishers.
We pursue excellence in everything we do and have been state-of-the-art since state-of-the-art meant Linotype and a brand new Macintosh 128K (Google it!). These days half our staff have never used a facsimile machine, but that doesn't mean we've neglected our traditional skills. We're all fully equipped and eager to bring you top of the line publishing services.
