Nursery World - Spotlight on ... Paul Martin, Paperpod

Name: Paul Martin from Bexhill, East Sussex

Position: Founder and owner of Paperpod

What is Paperpod?

We make eco-friendly creative toys and furniture for children. Itstarted off three years ago after I had made some toys out of heavy-dutycorrugated cardboard for my own children and I decided to see if I couldsell them. My wife Alison works at a nursery school and suggested wekeep the products brown so children can use their imaginations anddecorate them.

What was the first Paperpod product?

The first product was a Toddler Chair, which my own childrenpersonalised and kept for a very long time. It was also accepted wellinto nurseries and pre-schools as a 'birthday chair'. Other popularproducts are the den, the toy fort, the rocket and the teepee. You cansee them at www.paperpod.co.uk.
