For the fourth consecutive year, LaunchPad London is back, helping to support individuals and companies hoping to break into the stationery industry.
The aim of the initiative is to find up to 12 individuals or companies with new ideas for products or services, with entrants requested to put forward their ideas together with a sample product.
The winner will receive a free exhibition stand at the 2019 Stationery Show London which takes place from April 30 to May 1. The closing date for entries is February 28, 2019.
This year’s LaunchPad judges are: Sarah Sibley, founder of online stationery retailer Got2Jot; Michael Owen, co-founder of Lime Stationery & Art; Penny Green, director of retail & wholesale Europe for kikki.K, who introduced kikki.K to the UK; Jamie Mitchell, co-founder and director at quirky stationery and gift supplier Ohh Deer, and Kaushal Shah, founder of Paper Plus Europe. (James and Kaushal were identified as ‘Thirty Under 30 Star Choice’ stationery industry winners earlier this year).
