Staedtler announces passing of Jim Wilson

Staedtler UK is sad to announce the death of Jim Wilson, formerly sales manager at the writing instrument manufacturer.

In a career spanning 38 years, Jim saw Staedtler grow from a fledgling partnership with the company’s distribution agent in 1966 to a successful stand-alone manufacturing and distribution affiliate of the German parent company until his retirement in 2005.

Highly respected by both colleagues and customers, Jim leaves a lasting legacy which contributed to Staedtler achieving a market-leading role in the writing instrument sector.

Jim’s funeral will take place on Tuesday 8 January. Please email janet.thomas@staedtler.com for further information.
