since 2007
Way back when Lily Anna Rose was created with just a handful of pennies and the desire to create beautiful stationery for loving couples. It was the hope of making a better life. (Image below by John Franklin in 2011).
“Following a catastrophic series of events, I made the decision to be brave! I wasn’t going to be dissuaded by the struggles of being a single parent or redundancy. With just £50 I could only pour love and passion into the new adventure. Lily Anna Rose was born and in 2009 nominated ‘Barclays Trading Places Top 100 Business in Barclays Trading Places Awards’.
Years on and happily married. Lily Anna Rose has blossomed and become an important member of our family. Today, my commitment is to offer sustainable stationery that is truly personalised”.
