The history of the pen is our history

Since 1919 when we began making writing instruments in Britain we’ve been writing the history of the pen.

The story of some of the milestones we’ve passed and the inventions we pioneered over
those eighty plus years are shown over the page.

But this website is very much about the future we’re building on that unique heritage.
From elegant ball point pens to top of the range fountain pens, you’ll find a perfect balance of pleasurable performance and incredible design.

Isn’t it nice to be able to hold history in your hand.
