Admin History: John Dickinson Stationery Limited was a leading British stationery company founded in Hertfordshire, that later merged with another company to form the Dickinson Robinson Group. In the 19th century, the company pioneered a number of innovations in paper-making. The Basildon Bond brand was acquired by John Dickinson Stationery in 1918 when they took over the original developers, Millington and Sons. See 'The Endless Web: John Dickinson & Co Ltd, 1804-1954' by Joan Evans (Jonathan Cape, 1955) for a detailed company history.
The Basildon Bond account was acquired by JWT in 1937.
