Ryman Stationery and Office Supplies

Ryman is a historic British retail brand that has specialized in stationery and office supplies for over a century. Founded in London in 1893 by Henry J. Ryman, the company initially focused on providing high-quality paper and writing instruments to the local business community. Over time, it expanded its product range to include furniture, technology, and specialized printing services, becoming a staple on British high streets.

While the brand was originally a family-run enterprise, it was eventually acquired by the high-profile entrepreneur Theo Paphitis in the mid-1990s. Under his leadership, the brand became part of the TPR Group (Theo Paphitis Retail Group), which also includes other well-known retail chains like Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue.

Manufacturing for Ryman-branded products is diverse, with sourcing taking place in multiple countries including the United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia, depending on the specific product category. The brand remains headquartered in the United Kingdom and continues to be one of the most recognized names in the stationery and office supply sector.
