About us

Diagram Visual Information Limited has been producing high quality graphic and text content for 50 years. We specialise in detailed diagrams, charts, tables, maps and illustrations and the text to support them.

We provide content for home reference volumes, library and school books, graphic books for kids, and a range of online and on disc material.

Diagram Visual Information is a cooperative group of designers, writers, artists and editors.

Founded in 1960 by Bob Chapman and Bruce Robertson DVI developed as a supplier to publishers of visualised information in Britain. Later the art director Trevor Bounford and the editorial director Ruth Midgley enabled the team to produce copyright owned publications for the international market.

Together we have produced 75,000 pages for more than 500 titles. Our books have sold over 9 million copies in 53 languages and 48 countries.
