About the business
After spending 20 years in the document processing sector, Robin Prior launched Abergower Ltd and hasn’t looked back since. In the last five years Abergower has gone from strength to strength, building up an impressive list of clients that includes some of the biggest names in business, such as Ancestry.com, The Energy Savings Trust, The London Stock Exchange and a host of reference libraries and specialist publishers around the UK. Abergower offers an array of services, focusing on the digitisation of precious documents and books, document digitisation for financial and professional industries, as well as providing 3D printers to universities and colleges across the UK.
