The winners of the Stationery Awards 2024 were announced this evening (Tuesday 14 May) at the close of the first day of London Stationery Show at the Business Design Centre.
There were over 70 products nominated from 40 different brands, from the well-established to newbies on the scene. Judged by an independent panel of leading retailers, across 12 distinct product categories, the awards recognise the greatest product innovations in the stationery sector.
The awards ceremony was sponsored by The Stationers’ Company and was attended by retailers, buyers, suppliers and distributors who shared in the joy as the worthy winners made their way to the stage to collect their trophies.
Rob Willis, coo of Max Publishing, who hosted the ceremony alongside event manager Chantelle White, said: “The Stationery Awards showed that this sector is awash with innovation and style, and is trend-savvy across all different categories. Retailers spent a good deal of time in judging and were in awe of just how unstoppable stationery suppliers are at fulfilling their obligation to keep great products continuously coming to market.”
The final award was new for 2024 and was the Icon Award, recognising a stationery product that has stood the test of time to become a true icon.
