Winning the award for Social Stationery Product of the Year was Huunuu, with Cherry Williams, content chief saying: “The award is such a fantastic boost for our small team of three, Clare Turner, Trevyn Tinson and myself. We create products with passion and purpose that support others to create their legacy in the life they want to lead. To win against such esteemed finalists is also a fantastic validation. Founder of huunuu, Clare dedicates the win to her late sister-in-law, Claire Turner. She’d hate to be in the limelight but would be excited that more people will have the chance to share their life, stories and create a legacy.”
Coffeenotes shared news of its win for the Working From Home Product of the Year on its socials, with co-founder Sarah Downey saying: “As a small family run business from Dorset we couldn’t be happier to be recognised for creating stationery made from recycled coffee cups and repurposed waste from Food, drink and textile manufacturing. Thank you so much to the judges for highlighting sustainable stationery.” Coming away with two awards for two of its brands, was Stone Marketing, with the Children’s Stationery Product of the Year for the Faber-Castell connector pens in dinosaur tin and Novelty Stationery Product of the Year for the Legami erasable pens. “We are thrilled as UK distributor to celebrate our brand’s recent stationery awards.
