Sion Whellens graduated in 1979 with an English honours degree from York University. It was while editing the student newspaper that he decided to pursue a career in the noble craft of printing. His postgraduate education at the London College of Printing was followed by a long and varied apprenticeship, and he joined the Calverts co-operative in 1983. He has worked in the trade as a machine minder, guillotine operator, estimator, production manager, typesetter, salesman and account handler.

Sion has always been interested in the networked, co-operative approach to business as a sustainable alternative to corporatism. After 26 years, his enthusiasm for well designed and executed print with lower environmental impacts is undiminished.
