London Stationery Show expands to meet exhibitor demand

The London Stationery Show is a unique platform for buyers and suppliers. The number of stands has doubled and it has trebled in size since its launch in 2011.  With the ground and mezzanine levels now fully booked for the first time, the show is expanding onto the gallery of the Business Design Centre to meet growing exhibitor demand for space.

This year’s show represents more than 300 brands and suppliers and thousands of products from around the world, all in one place. It is the UK’s most important event for writing and paper products and last year attracted visitors from 36 countries.

“Next month’s London Stationery Show is the sixth and biggest yet,” said exhibition director Chris Leonard-Morgan. “Writing and paper products have universal appeal and these days can be found in pretty much every retail channel and type of store there is.”

Visitor registrations to date include such well known names as Achica, Amazon, Asos, Austin & Co, B & M Retail, Bartrums, Bentalls, Black Country Museum, Blenheim Palace, British Museum, Bureau Direct, Cass Art, Cath Kidston, Choosing Keeping, Club Group, Colemans, Costco, Cowling and Wilcox, Cult Pens, Eastbourne Heritage Centre, Evo Group, Fenwick, Findel Education, Foyles, Gardners Books, Got 2 Jot, Groupon UK, Harrods, Historic Royal Palaces, Hobbycraft, Hoopers, Imperial College Union, Imperial War Museum, ITV, J Ruddock, Jarrold & Sons, Jespers of Harrogate, John Lewis, Laura Ashley, London Graphic Centre, London School of Economics Students’ Union, Merlin Entertainments, Monsoon Accessorize, National Gallery, National Theatre, Natural History Museum, Office Club, Office Depot, OfficeTeam, Osborne Stationers, Paperchase, Paper Ducks, Pedlars, Pen & Paper, Pen to Paper, Penfax, Postmark, Royal Academy of Arts, Royal College of Art, Royal Museums Greenwich, Ryman, Sarah Hurley, Scholastic UK, Scribbler, Scriptum Fine Stationery, Spicers, Spotlight Stationery, Staples Advantage, Tesco, The Pen Shop, The Stationery & Gift Boutique, Tiger Pens, Trago Mills, V O W Retail, V&A and WHSmith.

“The exhibition has grown in size every year for the last five years. There are more than sixty new exhibitors to date at this year’s show, visitor registrations are up on this time last year and there are lots of exciting things happening out there,” said Leonard-Morgan. “Stationery is hot, and writing is cool!”

The London Stationery Show takes place on Tuesday 26 – Wednesday 27 April at the Business Design Centre during National Stationery Week (25 April – 1 May).
