Paper Starlights Shines Bright at the Good Small Business Awards
Sustainable brand Paper Starlights has been recognised nationally after being shortlisted for Retail & Wholesale Champion at this year’s Good Small Business Awards in Liverpool.
The award celebrates excellence in sustainability across the retail and wholesale sectors, recognising businesses that demonstrate meaningful impact across social, environmental, governance, and purpose led practices.
While the Chesterfield-based brand didn’t take home the top prize, being named among the finalists marks a proud milestone; and Paper Starlights’ first-ever awards evening as a business.
Representing the team at the event were Andy, Co-founder, and Becky, Head of Digital and Operations.
It was an inspiring experience to be among so many purpose-driven brands,” said Becky, Head of Digital and Operations at Paper Starlights. “To be recognised for our sustainability journey within the retail industry means a great deal to us.”
Founded in 1996, Paper Starlights has spent nearly 30 years creating handcrafted paper star lanterns that bring warmth, connection, and creativity to homes and celebrations. Each lantern is handmade by skilled artisans in India under long standing fair trade partnerships, using responsibly sourced materials that align with the brand’s commitment to sustainability and ethical craftsmanship.
From its Derbyshire base, the company supplies both independent retailers and direct customers, with sustainability and authenticity at the heart of every collection.
“We’re proud to represent Derbyshire’s independent retail community on a national stage,” said Andy, Co-founder of Paper Starlights. “This recognition inspires us to keep creating light; responsibly and beautifully.”
