Ryman is famous for our customer service. Everyone who works at the 237 Ryman stores nationwide aims to deliver the best possible customer experience to everyone who visits the specialist stationery stores. This is achieved through a number of routes, including:

We make sure the company’s investment in training so that people in the stores have an in-depth knowledge of their product range.

We are always keen to hear about ways we can improve. That’s why we encourage all our customers – and employees – to come up with ideas on how we can do things better, and what new things we should be doing.

We hope you enjoy your online experience with Ryman.co.uk and if you have any questions, please contact Customer services.

All stores allow customers to order products for home delivery, which is particularly useful in the case of purchasing heavy items like chairs, desks, filing cabinets and the like. Just ask about this at any Ryman till.

We have been working with DHL since 2010, and have a DHL Service Point at many stores, in order to offer customers a courier service allowing customers to send parcels securely around the world or within the UK.

There are six Ryman stores that also have a Post Office.

We offer special pre-paid gift cards at various prices, rewarding your colleagues or customers to choose their own gifts!

Ryman has a great track record in supporting good causes and has raised £2.5m for Comic Relief/ Sport Relief! Employee fundraising is encouraged at all levels.

We are also proud sponsors of the Isthmian Football League, called the Ryman League. The clubs have been highly supportive of the company’s charity fundraising, including playing with red footballs in support of the Red Nose Day and Sport Relief!

The company’s dynamic Chief Executive Officer, Kypros Kyprianou, says that business should be fun, as well as being about making money. Our Chairman Theo Paphitis - the Skillsmart Retail Apprentice’s Champion - also believes that happy colleagues provide the best possible customer service. For this reason, Ryman has the following colleague initiatives:

We hold conferences for colleagues twice a year, where we encourage colleagues to suggest ways that the business can better serve our customers.

Training is run on an on-going basis, with employees joining the company’s own Five Star Training program.

We’ve set up a Retail Academy that is currently training groups of store colleagues who are gaining a new qualification while working and so far the feedback has been very positive all round.

We’re proud that our colleagues generally want to stay with us for a long time – we have a low turnover of colleagues within the business, something that is very unusual within the competitive retail industry. We’d like to think that this is a sign that our colleagues enjoy working here and feel that we support their development. Ryman is a supporter of the Retail Trust charity which offers a confidential counselling service to retail colleagues.
