Premier Paper has entered into a partnership programme with D&AD (British Design & Art Direction).


The partnership will include sponsorship of D&AD's showcase events during the year, and paper supply of either Galerie Art or Naturalis from Premier's range for D&AD's publications.


D&AD's chief executive, David Kester, said: "Paper plays a vital role in our work and in Premier we have a partner supplying support for our range of promotional and educational activities."


Premier Paper continues the role previously carried out by Classic Papers - now part of the Premier Group.


The sponsorship programme includes the D&AD Annual Show, staged recently at the Royal College of Art, The President's Dinner and the D&AD Awards.
