Talk Paper, part of the James McNaughton Group, has achieved widespread European recognition, after winning the 'Environmental Responsibility' category at the recently held European Office Products Awards 2009.

The awards, which are held annually, and now in their eighth year, took place in Frankfurt during the Paperworld exhibition at an awards dinner on 2 February. Other finalists in Talk Paper's category included Everything Office, Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper, Office Depot and Office Friendly Dealer Association.

Talk Paper were represented at the awards by Andrew Ingram, along with a number of their key clients and suppliers.

Speaking on the success, Talk Paper Managing Director Andrew Ingram said; "Talk Paper narrowly missed out on winning the award last year, which was won by 3M, so to go one stage further and clinch the top award in 2009 is brilliant news and a clear reflection of Talk Paper's status as the UK's leading supplier of recycled and certified office papers as well as the McNaughton Groups wider environmental responsibility program."
