Leading writing instrument manufacturers Sheaffer, Faber-Castell and uni-ball have signed up as Official Partners for National Stationery Day on Tuesday 24 April, which is the opening day of the London Stationery Show.

“This is great news for National Stationery Day,” says organiser Chris Leonard-Morgan. “The involvement of these major names will really help National Stationery Day achieve its objective of getting people writing, talking about and buying more stationery and writing instruments.”

National Stationery Day will be a day of celebration of the written word and all things stationery, from the functional and fun to the stylish and luxurious.  An extensive programme of PR activity is planned around the day including social media, radio and press, the appointment of a team of stationery 'ambassadors' and inviting well known public figures with a penchant for stationery and pens to visit the show.
