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.
