My favourite stationery personality has to be Ian Helford, Chairman Emeritus of Viking Direct. As you would expect from a man who has dedicated his life to the happiness of others through office supplies, he’s a total hunk.
If you’ve been collecting Viking catalogues over the last few years, you’ll know that Mr. Helford is no stranger to a bit of hard work and has often been pictured actually loading product from the warehouse onto the Viking Direct vans! What a guy!
STOP PRESS: I’ve just found out that his name is actually IRWIN, calling him Ian was a cheap marketing ploy to get British people to like him! I am sickened. But somehow turned on?
