| Company History
Grosvenor House Papers Ltd began trading in 1949 selling
paper to local businesses. The company is owned by husband
& wife, Keith & Janet Young, who are both very
hands-on within the company. Keith has worked for the
business for 41 years.
In recent years we have grown considerably
- supplying exercise books & paper, craft materials,
copier paper and office equipment to schools, local
authorities and businesses nationally.
Currently we have the largest range and
stockholding of school exercise books & paper in
the UK and, after the shop opened in the summer of 2002,
we have become a major supplier of Arts & Crafts
materials in the South Lake District.
In 2001 we completed an 18,000ft²
extension built onto our existing warehouse, which is
20,000ft². This will give us a total storage area
of 38,000ft² plus 10,000ft² of office accommodation.

Shop Information
The shop opened in 2002 with just one floor, selling
core craft items and the ever-popular pick-n-mix paper
as well as hosting a handful of craft classes and events.
The shop grew rapidly and soon expanded
upstairs to a second floor and a much wider range of
stock. The classes have also increased and diversified.
Today there are classes and events on
most days, a huge range of every craft item you could
ever need with a large range of office stationery and
equipment.
Of course, we also have an excellent range of paper
and card plus many specialist printer papers for almost
every conceivable application. Our excellent value school
exercise books are available through the shop in smaller
quantities suitable for individuals or small companies
who cannot buy books in our larger packs.
