About Us
Grosvenor House Papers is a family‑owned UK supplier and manufacturer of exercise books and educational stationery, with 80 years’ experience delivering exceptional value to schools, academies, Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), and businesses across the country.
Owned by Keith and Janet Young, the company has grown into a leading supplier of exercise books, paper and card, classroom resources, office stationery, and bespoke printed materials for educational and organisational use.
Based in Kendal, Cumbria, on the edge of the Lake District National Park, we combine high‑volume stockholding, skilled in‑house manufacturing, flexible nationwide delivery, and reliable customer service to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.
Supporting Schools, Academies and MATs
We proudly supply schools, academies, and MATs nationwide with sustainable, dependable, and affordable educational stationery.

High‑Capacity Stockholding
Our 40,000 ft² warehouse holds a comprehensive range of classroom essentials, including exercise books, file papers, notebooks, pads, and market‑leading stationery brands.
We also maintain substantial stocks of large‑format paper and card, which are converted in‑house into high‑quality finished stationery products.
Experienced UK Manufacturing
With over 10,000 ft² of dedicated production space, we manufacture a wide range of UK‑made, paper‑based stationery and bespoke printed materials — including our popular Bespoke Exercise Books range, tailored to individual school or organisation requirements.
Flexible Nationwide Delivery
We offer flexible delivery options across the UK through our own FORS Silver–accredited transport division, GHP Transport, demonstrating our commitment to safety, quality, and sustainability. Our fleet is supported by trusted distribution partners, enabling us to maintain short lead times, consistent reliability, and a high standard of service throughout the year.
Friendly Customer Service
Our approachable team is committed to providing every customer with exceptional value, personalised support, and a smooth experience — from first enquiry through to final delivery.
Environmental Suitability
We are committed to operating responsibly and reducing our environmental impact across every area of our business. This includes responsible sourcing through a sustainable, carefully vetted supply chain, monitoring and minimising waste, and continually improving our efficient in‑house manufacturing processes.
We also actively participate in green initiatives and ongoing environmental improvements to ensure our products and operations support the environmental aims of our customers and the wider community.
Online Retail Stores
We operate two online retail stores offering an extensive selection of paper, card, envelopes, and craft materials for crafters, hobbyists, and businesses.
Our products are ideal for card making, crafting, wedding stationery, and bespoke printing. Many items are manufactured locally in the Lake District, less than three miles from our Kendal premises, and we also supply a unique range of high‑demand papers and cards to customers across the UK and beyond.
