Speaking of London Stationery Show, we’ve got the essential guide to everything that is happening at the show, from the talks and workshops to a super 10-page product guide preview.
With Q1 now done and dusted (and most of us would say thank goodness!) we caught up with several retailers and suppliers to reflect on how business has been and what the rest of 2024 has in store for them.
Elsewhere in the issue, we catch up with the iconic German writing instrument brand, Lamy and learn more about its future plans under new owners Mitsubishi Pencil, as well as hearing more about new launches coming over summer. We shine the light on sustainability, highlighting several companies which are really raising the bar when it comes to doing business in a more sustainable way.
We’ve also got a fantastic interview with Paul Sacki of Jakar International who shares the incredible story of the company, founded by his grandmother 75 years ago.
