Birkdale Studios

We're here to let you know more details about us

Birkdale Studios is a respected family-run business based in Leyland, Lancashire, with an extensive operating history spanning nearly three decades. One of our original founders continues to be part of the company to this day.

Our journey began in April 1994 as a screen printing company under the name Jade Print & Engineering, based in Chorley, Lancashire. At that time, we also specialised in manufacturing screen printing machines, hence the inclusion of "Engineering" in our name.

In 1997, an exciting opportunity arose when we acquired Ashley Studios in Southport. We integrated Ashley Studios into the Jade Print & Engineering family, while also separating the engineering aspect of our business into a different company. At the same time, we moved to our then factory in Birkdale, Southport. Over the years since, we diversified our offerings to include textile printing and embroidery, expanding our reach into various sectors.

In 1999, we took over Wheatcroft Display, a Chorley-based company, further expanding our presence. We seamlessly integrated Wheatcroft Display into the Jade Print & Engineering family and relocated all operations to our Southport factory.

Recognising the growth and evolution of our business since its inception, we made the decision in 2003 to rebrand as Birkdale Studios. We felt that this new name better represented our diverse range of services and our journey beyond the confines of our initial specialisation.

In 2013, we bid farewell to our previous location in Southport and returned to our roots in Chorley, Lancashire. Embracing a spirit of progress, we recently relocated to our new and current home in Leyland, Lancashire in 2022. This move reflects our commitment to advancing our capabilities and providing a modern, streamlined ordering experience for our customers.

At Birkdale Studios, we humbly embrace our history and look forward to continuing to diversify, provide quality service, and offer dedication to our customers.
