Pier Journal Shines a Spotlight on Blackmore

We were delighted to see Blackmore featured in a recent article in Pier Journal, written by journalist Laura Williams.

In the piece, Laura reflects on Pier’s expansion into Dorset and their decision to bring their print production closer to home:

“When Pier expanded to cover Dorset last year, we knew we had to move our print local - and there was one clear choice for us: Blackmore Ltd. With incredible green credentials and an attention to detail that makes our designer jump with glee, we haven’t looked back.”

Her article traces Blackmore’s journey from our origins as a family-run business at the Gillingham mill to our current home in Shaftesbury, highlighting the values and craftsmanship that continue to define our work today.

We’re grateful to Laura Williams and the Pier team for sharing our story - and we’re proud to be the print partner behind Pier Journal. It’s a pleasure to support a publication so deeply rooted in community, creativity, and local storytelling.

We’re officially “Pier certified” - and honoured to be part of their Dorset chapter.
