Dickinson Robinson Group
Dickinson Robinson Group Ltd (DRG) was formed out of E.S. & A Robinson Packaging of Bristol and John Dickinson & Co Ltd. in 1966, creating one of the world's largest stationery and packaging companies. In 1990, the Paper Mills in the group, Nash Mills, Keynsham Paper Mill and Fife Paper Mills were sold to SAPPI of South Africa. These mill were all subsequently closed down by SAPPI as were all other acquisitions (Kymmini Oy, Blackburn Mill and Wolvercote Mill) they made in the UK. In 1999, what had been the Stationery Division of the Group was bought by Spicers Ltd and relocated from Apsley, Hertfordshire to the village of Sawston south of Cambridge.
