Guest speaker confirmed for Stationers’ 2025 Innovation Excellence Awards

The Stationer’s Company has confirmed the guest presenter for the 2025 Innovation Excellence Awards, where the best of the Communications and Content industries will be announced.

Dr Vanessa Lawrence CB started her career as the Geography, Geology, Agriculture and Veterinary Science Publisher for tertiary education at Longman Group which today is known as Pearson; they gave her an excellent business training over the first 11 years of her career. During that time, she was awarded a Scholarship from The Stationers’ and Newspaper Makers’ Company for a project to further management and technological skills in the industry. She now has over 35 years’ experience in the digital data community and has specialised in geographical information and space applications.

Expert judges at The Stationer’s Company have now whittled down their top picks of the brands going above and beyond in six categories ranging from Start Ups to Education Technology.

The winners will be announced at a champagne reception and lunch on 17th October 2025, at the historic Stationer’s Hall in London, where some of the communications and content industry’s big hitters will come together to find out who has been honoured with a coveted trophy from the Innovation Excellence Awards, now in their 11th year.

Through the awards, the Stationers’ Company recognises the key role the Communications and Content industries play in the UK economy, highlights outstanding innovation in the sector and offers the opportunity to share best practice.
