It’s hard to believe that this time last week we were all enjoying the delights of London Stationery Show, so StationeryNews felt it’s a perfect time to look over the fabulous pictures from the show.

Exaclair’s UK marketing manager, Lawrence Savage said: “This year’s show proved to be a successful event for us. Overall, we experienced some of the best footfall in recent times and engagement with our Cernit clay workshops was excellent. We were delighted with the opportunities the show has created for us with current and new customers alike, and it was a pleasure to welcome Theo Paphitis onto our stand as we introduced him to some of our popular Exacompta filing ranges. In addition, we were over the moon to have our Clairefontaine Bamboo watercolour pads announced as winners of the Sustainable Product of the Year category during the esteemed Stationery Awards.”

In March 2020 he started #DrawWithRob, a series of twice-weekly draw-along videos designed to help parents whose children were forced to stay home from school due to the coronavirus pandemic. It proved immensely popular, garnering millions of views and national/international media coverage. Rob (right) is pictured with Tallon’s Barry Heath.

Our product range has increased and diversified and this is down to the learnings we take from the buyers. We were kept on our toes over two very busy days, and our new LP Calendars were a huge hit!”
