2019 winner – designer stationery awards
The Stationery Designer of the Year Award, sponsored by GO Stationery was won by Laura Jackson of Laura Jackson Design.
Jackson trained in jewellery design and silversmithing at the esteemed School of Jewellery in Birmingham and then embarked on a career in luxury fashion. She spent eight years in design and development at several high-profile international brands in Birmingham and London, before embarking on a nine-month exploration around Asia and the Pacific.
Inspired by her travels she now designs a range of homewares and interior products, all of which are made in the UK.
The team at GO Stationery selected Jackson’s submission saying: “A bold, striking, commercial and very versatile winning design – fully adaptable with endless opportunity. Laura clearly knows stationery and proposed the top two selling formats.
“She also went the extra mile and proposed a print specification and price and therefore not only entered with a design concept but has taken it all the way to manufacture ready!”
2019 winners – retailer stationery awards
With the support of sponsor A T Cross, five new retailer categories were added to the Stationery Awards this year for the first time. It was a great evening for Sidonie Warren, co-founder of Papersmiths, which picked up two category awards. Warren was also part of this year’s Supplier Award Judging Panel.
