Our History

Founded in the late 1970’s by Managing Director Neil Cleere, we were originally a general trade supplier of promotional items, but by the mid-1980’s had become a specialist supplier of printed pens and complementary promotional products, including printed pencils and accessories. Since then we have steadily expanded our range year-on-year to now include over 400 unique products, many designed in-house and so exclusive to The Pen Warehouse. During this growth, we have built an enviable reputation for quality and service as a trade exclusive supplier. Our innovative approach has helped define not only the way promotional pens are designed but also marketed, to reflect the demands of today’s discerning purchaser.

Our Philosophy

Great service, quality and price are to be expected in today’s competitive market, but we see ourselves as offering far more than these basic prerequisites. We consider our network of trusted distributors to be our partners and hope that they enjoy the experience of working with us as we do them. We believe that doing business should be pleasurable for our customers, our dedicated staff and our suppliers alike, and this philosophy is reflected in the way we approach our working relationships. 

Ethical sourcing, our impact on the environment and corporate & social responsibility are overriding considerations that influence everything we do, to ensure that long-term sustainability for our society and planet is not compromised by short-term policies. 

Our Staff

We currently employ around 200 members of staff, covering administration, sales, printing and manufacturing. Many of our shop-floor employees have been with us since we first become involved in pen printing and our policy of ongoing cross-training and our recent apprenticeships scheme have given us a resource that we believe is unequalled in terms of experience and flexibility. 

We are an equal opportunities employer and take great pride in helping our staff achieve their full potential by actively seeking opportunities for personal development. 

Our Products

Our range includes ballpoint pens, rollerballs, fountain pens, gel pens, wooden pencils, mechanical pencils, crayons, colouring pencils, rulers, erasers, pencil sharpeners and pencil cases.
