Matthew Glover
Founder & Managing Director

Matthew Glover is the founder and driving force behind Orchid, one of the UK’s leading luxury print specialists.

Having trained within London’s foremost reprographics and print houses throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Matthew developed a deep understanding of colour, materials and process. Today, he is known for his experience, attention to detail and the care he brings to every project.

He established Orchid in 2003 with a clear vision: to create a print business where creativity, craftsmanship and service sit at the heart of everything. Under his leadership, Orchid has built a reputation for exceptional quality, working with brands such as De Beers, Burberry, Graff and Stella McCartney.

Matthew works closely with his clients from the earliest stages of a brief, taking the time to understand what they are trying to achieve and guiding each project through with clarity and consideration. His approach is thoughtful, hands-on and collaborative, ensuring every detail is carefully resolved.

At the centre of this is a simple belief: great print comes from care, precision and partnership. Print Perfection remains Matthew’s mantra, and nothing leaves Orchid without meeting his standards.

Darren has been at the core of everything Orchid does since 2012.

He’s an expert account manager with a huge knowledge of print, production and finishing, which he uses on a day-to-day basis, advising and helping clients in the realisation of their projects.

Organised to a ‘T’, methodical in his approach, with a painstaking attention to detail, Darren’s a people person at heart and is always prepared to go the extra mile, whether it’s to provide an urgent estimate or to solve a technical problem.

In addition, Darren’s a logistics expert with incredible production planning skills for even the most complex, challenging projects and he also provides Orchid’s clients with peace of mind and reassurance with his stringent checking procedures.

Ultimately, Darren understands and embraces Orchid’s core beliefs and physically embodies our ‘Print Perfection’ mantra, always prepared to roll up his sleeves whenever it’s needed. A true Orchid legend.

James is Orchid’s operations guru, running all aspects of the business from the press room to the finishing department.

He started his career as an apprentice at one of London’s most demanding print rooms, learning how to put ink on paper with craft, skill and dexterity. Quickly graduating to the role of #1 minder, building an intimate understanding of colour, paper and all things related to print production, James is an expert in lithographic printing with a specialist knowledge of Heidelberg presses.

With the dynamic demands of a modern press room always presenting a variety of challenges, James is equally at home advising clients and directing projects as he is on the factory floor maintaining Orchid’s incredibly high production standards and all-round efficiencies.
