Ingrid Hope – Owner/ President
Since taking over the helm in January 2005, she is assuming the role of general manager, inside and outside sales, financial management and Hall Printing supporter and promoter. She is slowly letting go of her former accounting responsibilities to concentrate her energies on forward thinking to lead the company and staff.

Ingrid’s husband and co-owner, Ron have a family with three grown children and two fat cats. Both have lots of family locally and love living, playing, and working in the beautiful West Kootenay.

Les Otterbein – Pressman
Leslie Otterbein has more than 20 years of press experience under his belt. He's been around here since 1990 when he moved out from Alberta. He's never regretted the move, and considers himself just as much a native as all the other people who moved here too. When not getting inky fingers, his talents extend to digital photography, design, and restoration work, and on the home front he's a DIYer too. When not burning the candle on both ends, he likes to fall asleep in the bathtub with his current novel.
