Our Story

A LEGACY OF CRAFTMANSHIP, TRUSTED WORLDWIDE

Founded in 1998 by Bob and Marcia Derrick, Classic Transfers began with a shared passion for motorcycles and a determination to make authentic, high-quality transfers accessible once again. From their dedication, what started as a small family venture has grown into a trusted transfer and decal manufacturer based in Charfield, South Gloucestershire, supplying both enthusiasts and businesses worldwide.

Bob’s artistic skill and eye for detail, paired with Marcia’s commitment to building a professional and customer-focused business, laid the foundation for everything we do today. Under the leadership of their grandson Adam, Classic Transfers has evolved into a company that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern production technology, offering the flexibility to serve both individual restorers and large-scale commercial clients.

FROM LEGACY TO INDUSTRY

Operating from our dedicated Charfield facility, we manage the full production process from research and design through to screen and digital printing, finishing, and dispatch. With a catalogue of over 4,000 designs and the capacity for bespoke projects, we proudly supply:

Motorcycle and automotive manufacturers requiring precision reproduction graphics

Restoration workshops and specialists who need reliable, consistent supply

Model and hobby brands requiring small-batch accuracy

Distributors and trade clients needing professional production at scale

By combining heritage screen-printing methods with advanced vinyl and digital processes, we can deliver everything from single authentic reproductions to large production runs without compromise.

TRUSTED QUALITY, GLOBAL REACH

Every transfer we produce is rooted in careful research, often traced from original artwork or verified archival material. This accuracy has made us the go-to partner for restorers, manufacturers, and collectors across the UK, Europe, and beyond.

Today, with a dedicated office and production hub, a growing professional team, and continued investment in technology, Classic Transfers is more than a family legacy. We are a market-leading transfer and decal manufacturer with a reputation for precision and reliability.
