DENNY BROS
Denny Bros. was founded by brothers Douglas and Russell Denny in 1945 and the company has since grown into a world leading specialist print company. Denny Bros at Moreton Hall remains an independent, employee-owned printing business with an ethos underpinned by the strong guiding values of their founders. The Denny Bros Group consists of eleven companies covering a broad range of disciplines, all underpinned by the same principles of flexibility, customer care and innovation. Denny Bros Supplies Ltd., at St Andrew’s Street South, Bury St Edmund's, Suffolk opened in 1960 and around 1982 they decided to try a new venture into the art print market. Some paintings were purchased with the intention of producing art prints for sale to the trade and direct to the public. Seeking an artistic sounding name for the new project they adopted the maiden name of Barry Denny's grandmother, and Ottewill Art was launched. A small gallery was created in the St Andrews Street premises to display the works, and members of the public who visited also expressed an interest in obtaining art materials as well. Thus began the expansion of Ottewill Art into the field of artists' materials and equipment. Over the years this became a growing trade until Ottewill Art became one of the best artist's shops in the region specialised in arts and crafts stationery, printing and framing and exhibited local artists' work. The retail shop Denny Bros Retail Ltd in St Andrews Street closed in 2024.
