Books
One of Exeter's oldest companies, Wheatons has origins traceable to 1780. Originally based in Fore Street and extending through to Bartholomew Street, the printing works moved to the Marsh Barton Trading Estate from 1967. The company was acquired by Robert Maxwell's Pergamon Press, Oxford in 1966. In the following years the business expanded to employ some 500 staff providing skilled and well paid publishing and print industry jobs in Exeter. Wheatons continued under the ownership of the British Printing & Communications Corporation (BPCC), the Polestar Group and finally a management buyout team. Wheatons finally closed in 2017 adding to the long list of venerable names in the former British book production industry.
