About us
Silverdart Publishing is an independent company with a successful 20-year record of producing magazines, newsletters, books and web-based information for professional organisations.
Business and finance publications are our speciality - but we also design and publish catalogues, leaflets, certificates, cards and other material. We are based in Gloucestershire and serve clients in London and elsewhere.
We would be pleased to help you with any publishing project, large or small - see our contact details below.
Our services
We offer a full range of services in both print and web, including:
- Editorial and planning: copywriting, articles commissioned or written, editing, sub-editing, proof-reading and a general editorial overview of a document, publication or website to ensure it hits the target.
- Design and production: we work with you to present your publication or website in the most appropriate way, whether at the cutting edge of design, or using a traditional format.
- Advice and management: how do you get best value for money? Which medium do you use? What are you really trying to achieve? Our experience can help you make the right decision. We draw up an operational plan with you and then we make it happen.
- Magazines and websites: we combine our traditional print-based publishing work for clients with web design and implementation, as appropriate for you.
- Books and brochures: we have produced reference books, novels, an exhibition catalogue, a church history, a poetry anthology, brochures, cards, certificates and more.

Over the past two decades we have worked for the Association of Corporate Treasurers, the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, the Investor Relations Society, the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, and various corporate and individual customers.
"We have had a long working relationship with Alex Murray and his team at Silverdart and we have always found them to be very professional and attentive. They have provided the Society with attractive and cost-effective solutions to our publishing requirements and have always delivered projects on time and to a high quality. We would have no hesitation in recommending them."
Michael Mitchell, general manager, The Investor Relations Society
"Silverdart has produced many publications for us over several years - all to a very high standard and supported by a first class service."
Chris Jackson, former head of the Finance & Management Faculty, ICAEW
"This little book, produced by Silverdart on behalf of the United Benefice of Stratton, North Cerney, Baunton and Bagendon, is well illustrated and professionally produced. It's a model for others."
CHURCH TIMES
"Many thanks indeed for... your gorgeous anthology. What production values! And an attentiveness to detail and precision that's getting rarer and rarer. This is how poetry publishing ought to be managed: with thoroughness, accuracy and minimum fuss."
Mario Petrucci, poet

The Rapallo Legacy - a novel
Silverdart published a crime novel by the Bristol-based writer Alison Cooper. The Rapallo Legacy is a fast-moving tale of betrayal, revelation, self-discovery and romance. For more information - and to order one or more copies, please email us. Suzanne Savill of the Bristol Evening Post interviewed Alison about the book. For the full feature, see here.
Managing difficult people
People can be difficult - yes, really! This cover article in Finance & Management, the monthly magazine of the ICAEW’s F&M faculty, asked the question: are you managing your team of varying personalities in the most effective way? The author Nancy Slessenger provided some tips. In the same issue, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, founder of easyJet, discusses the key skills of entrepreneurs.
Butterflies in Zanzibar
In 2008, Silverdart designed and produced four postcards for the Zanzibar Butterfly Centre, providing them with 500 copies of each as an aid to their fund-raising effort. In a desperately poor country, the ZBC is a small independent project, which has created an excellent tourist attraction, while also having a great environmental benefit and providing sustainable development for the local community.
Avoiding the sharks
How do family businesses survive and prosper in a tough competitive environment? The February 2011 issue of Finance & Management, the monthly magazine of the ICAEW’s F&M Faculty, looked at the crucial issues for such companies to address. Other articles included ‘Systems thinking’, ‘Dealing with sustainability’ and ‘The next big management breakthrough’, plus more. For information about the faculty, see here.
