About Us

In 1839, only a few months after Charles Dickens wrote Oliver Twist, the TJ & J Smith partnership was formed in London to manufacture a range of fine diaries, almanacs, quill pens and special metallic paper.

During the last 160 years or more, Dataday has become an important supplier of high quality diaries and address books, complemented by a selection of stationery accessories including journals; notebooks; address books and social undated stationery (such as wedding photograph albums, manuscript books and Christmas card address books). Dataday now distributes At-A-Glance calendars, Continuous Dates Planners and Calendars and Dayminder professional organisational Diaries, desk pads and Calendars.

Sales to retail outlets are carried out by our Sales Team servicing the UK, and via this, our website for retailers to purchase online. Our bindery at Canvey Island, Essex provides a manufacturing and distribution service to stockists around the world. This website contains a large amount of product information but our sales team will be happy to provide you with any further information you may require.
