For many school children the start of a new academic year is celebrated with a trip to a stationery store to purchase the obligatory new pencil case and contents. The Parker fountain pen has always been a popular choice for pupils determined to improve their handwriting and despite a rising reliance on technology, sales of fountain pens continue to increase year on year.

The Parker Pen Company was founded in 1888 when George Safford Parker ran out of patience with the fountain pens available at the time.
