Situated in High Holborn London a great family tradition started when Frank’s son Neville joined the company and was made a Director in 1956.

The company then relocated to Corsham Street North London where it traded until moving to the present building in Epping in 1968 where it has expanded over the last 40 years.

In 1987 the Everard family were bought out and shortly afterwards the company was renamed Ovenden Papers Ltd.

Through Neville’s strong links with football and Leyton Orient F.C. The names Everard Ovenden and Ovenden Papers were seen behind the goals at many football league grounds including Wembley.

Our history would not be complete without mentioning Joe Hayward our former Sales Director who served the company for 42 years joining the company from school. Joe retired in 2001.

Today Michael Ovenden and Nigel Ovenden head the family business.

Michael as the Chairman/Managing Director and Nigel as Sales Director.

Other board members include Trevor Whitford as Financial Director and Nick Blackham-Hayward as Commercial Director.

The family tradition still continues to this day with the fourth generation now working for the company.

James Ovenden as Purchasing Director and Jo Ovenden as Sales Executive.

We are also very proud of our loyal staff. Many who have been with us for much of their working life.

Ovenden Papers Ltd – Sixty years in the making and still going strong.

We are the Paper People!!
