Simple Artwork Process
The experience we had with our previous supplier meant we had to find somebody new. To be honest, Penstripe was the only company I could find that met our needs. I was impressed that they supplied a list of schools who they supplied with diaries and I contacted several all of whom gave extremely positive feedback.
Hilary Simpson, St Catherine's College
Good customer service and excellent delivery of product from start to finish.
Lucy Massey, John Taylor Free School
I was able to create a good mix of our own content to suit our context as a middle school but also use existing Penstripe content to reduce time.
Mike Horton, Bredon Hill Academy
We have worked with Penstripe for a number of years and always get a quality product. Communication is clear and I was really impressed this year how quickly our teacher planners came, staff were really thrilled to get their planner before we broke up for the summer.
Lisa Hesketh, Co-op Academy Bebington
I was super impressed with the initial call from George to introduce Penstripe. The speedy delivery of samples and information and how they would work with us gave me real confidence. We had been let down by a previous supplier and both George and Sarah provided guidance and solutions to ensure we would receive delivery of the planners before the end of the summer term.
Jas Mistry, Onslow St. Audrey's School
Designed to last the year
