Dannells Ltd

Dannells is a Leading supplier of lampshade materials, components and services to manufacturers worldwide. We also offer printing services and supply products to the arts and crafts and creative industries. We are passionate about lampshade making because we have been involved in the industry for a long time — our business was founded in 1982 in Hackney, East London, as Martin Dannell & Co Ltd. The Company manufactured a broad range of lampshade-making products and provided many services for the vibrant manufacturers who used to supply retailers back in the day. We now operate from a 20,000 sq ft factory in Essex and employ about 30 dedicated staff, most of whom have been with the Company for decades. We are proud to be a British manufacturer. We have always been known as Dannells and recently changed our name to Dannells Limited when our founder, Martin Dannell, retired. Martin is very wisely spending much less time with us and far more time on holiday, and the business is today run by Jamie Dannell & David Little and their staff. We love the creativity of new designs interacting with artistic and productive people, and we also try hard to educate people on how to make lampshades themselves, either to coordinate with their home or for their friends, family or business. We have started a very successful forum that offers lampshade makers knowledge, support, and inspiration. We work on many levels with various individuals and groups, including the public, designers, entrepreneurs, retailers, tradespeople, schools and educational establishments who may need some friendly help and technical advice. We speak with everyone, so you can call us if you need any help. Dannells Limited is a well-established and reputable company that provides high-quality products and supplies and excellent customer service. Its commitment to innovation and quality has made it a trusted name in the industry and a favourite among lampshade makers and manufacturers worldwide.
