The Team Behind UP Stationery

UP Stationery is proudly owned and developed by CTS Wholesale, a long-established UK business specialising in supplying quality stationery, office products, and printing consumables to the trade.

Founded over 30 years ago by Steve Clayton and based in Burton-on-Trent, CTS Wholesale has grown into one of the UK’s leading trade-only suppliers, trusted by resellers, retailers, and buying groups nationwide.

We launched the UP brand to bring consumers a fresh, modern, and affordable stationery range — built on the same principles that have driven CTS for three decades: quality, reliability, and great service.

About CTS Wholesale

CTS Wholesale began by specialising in compatible and remanufactured printer inks and toners, a core part of our business we still proudly supply today — alongside a full range of OEM inks and an ever-expanding collection of stationery and office products.

From our centrally located UK warehouse, we stock over 500,000 products, ensuring fast, reliable fulfilment and tracked delivery as standard. We offer plain label delivery, bespoke customer branding, and EDI/webstore ordering, helping our trade customers operate efficiently and professionally.

We also work closely with major UK buying groups and industry back-office system providers, ensuring seamless integration and support for all our partners.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction runs deep — from dedicated support teams and specialist technical knowledge to a lifetime guarantee on our CTS-branded toners, drums, and inks.

Why UP?

With decades of expertise behind us, UP Stationery is built on the same trusted foundation as CTS Wholesale — combining everyday practicality with smart design and real value.

It’s stationery that’s designed to lift your workspace, backed by a business that understands what customers and retailers need most.
