Given the extraordinary events of 2020, the Stationer’s Company has extended the deadline for its Warrants Programme until the end of December. 

Chris Geer, chair, and the members of the Stationers’ Company Warrants Committee made the decision in recognition of the challenges that companies have faced this month, with varying levels of Covid-19 restrictions across the UK further exacerbating the difficulties.  

The Warrants, which were announced in July of this year, recognise the hard work, research and quality that companies in the communications and content industry put into their products and services.

The scheme is open to anyone working in those sectors and is not limited to members of the Stationers’ Company. Entrants only need to demonstrate that their company has a product, products or service that stands out. It doesn’t have to be new but does have to denote quality as the Warrants are granted as a mark of recognition to highlight excellence.

Companies now have until 31 December to apply for the Warrants scheme, although if lockdown restrictions tighten even further the Committee is prepared to extend that flexibility into early 2021.
