All shortlisted products could be viewed and enjoyed by visitors at London Stationery Show, as they were displayed for all to see at the Stationery Matters Hub.
Head of Marketing Ella O'Keefe remarked, "We felt it was important that all finalists were celebrated for their fantastic products and that is why we decided to create a dedicated space where visitors to London Stationery Show could appreciate such brilliant innovation within the industry."
Alex Butler, Event Director of London Stationery Show, stated, "It was wonderful to see the industry come together to acknowledge and celebrate our finalists.
