About Us
Company HistoryGrosvenor 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 55 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. The shop has since closed due to the acquisition of our online craft shop papermilldirect. 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.
