History

Established in 1980.

In 1980 Ben Richardson and his best friend from school, Mike Trevillion, set up Metro as a two-​man operation providing black and white printing from premises in Great Titchfield Street. An energy and passion for the business soon earns Metro a reputation for quality and innovation and establishes the UK’s original photographic imaging company.

In 1985 Metro relocates to larger premises in Great Sutton St, and introduces E6 processing at Clerkenwell Rd. Always looking for new ways to best meet the needs of its clients E6 is soon expanded into a ²⁴⁄₇ facility.

By 1995 Metro moves into its new premises at 76 Clerkenwell Rd. The five-​storey building has been completely refurbished to provide the most up-​to-​date facilities, including a purpose built daylight hire studio to complement its existing studios.

In 2007 we move to our current location on Great Sutton Street, 2011 see’s Metroprint launched and in 2012 we are awarded Royal Warrant by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales.
