Put National Stationery Week in your diary, it’s time to celebrate. 

Fill your pencil cases, reach for your pens, grab a clean sheet of paper and get ready to celebrate – National Stationery Week is here. Celebrations begin on 16th May and run until 22nd May! 

The purpose of National Stationery Week is to celebrate writing by hand, to get people all over the world talking about their favourite stationery products and for everyone around the globe to send more letters and cards. 

This year, the National Stationery Week campaign will once again celebrate ‘Seven Days of Stationery’ with a series of fun activities and competitions – now is the time to declare that you are addicted to stationery!

National Stationery Week is a great time to celebrate your favourite stationery item, a handy holepuncher or your favourite highlighter. We take a look at some of our favourite picks below. 

Planting 200+ trees with Edding and Tree Appeal

The sun came out for us last week, 26th April 2022, at the tree planting ceremony organised by Tree Appeal and Edding UK. As Edding UK's partner, Banner got their hands dirty as part of the tree-planting team at Ryecroft Academy in Leeds.

Four members of the Banner team - Alex Clayton, Kirk Townsend, Alex Milano-Tee and Natasha Barker - joined colleagues from Edding, as well as a big group of pupils from Ryecroft Academy, and got stuck in to planting over 200 trees of different varieties - helping us and them learn more about sustainability and the environment.

With many workplaces now adopting the hybrid model of working, it is key to ensure that employees are provided with equipment that best suits their environment.

Features that allow workspace satisfaction in changing environments or settings, such as size or ease of use, have become increasingly important. Equally, we see an even bigger need for technology which allows you to stay productive wherever you are.
