Last month Ovenden Papers celebrated 80 years of paper & more.
The company has come a long way since its humble beginnings, selling writing paper and envelopes from a small shop on Southampton Row, High Holborn, London. Now operating from a modern warehouse 22 miles north in Harlow, paper, board, and envelopes remain at the very heart of the business today.
“As a company, we are grateful for the successes of the past and look forward to the future. I’m honoured to lead our family business into its ninth decade, and I’m sure my great-grandfather would be thrilled to see the Ovenden name still going strong, continuing to play a significant part in this wonderful trade of ours. I’d like to thank everyone who has ever been involved with Ovendens, including our supportive suppliers, loyal customers, and, above all, our hardworking employees who make it all happen on a daily basis.”
James Ovenden, MD
“To mark this special milestone, the company developed a series of commemorative mugs for its suppliers and customers, showcasing some of Ovenden’s key brands.”
