Yard-O-Led

Trading as IMPERIAL YARD LIMITED, registered at Companies House number 09433000.

What we have checked

Every brand here has to clear one test before it is listed at all: the company is a UK legal entity with real activity here. That is a question about the business, and it is deliberately not the same question as where any individual product is made.

• uk registered entity: Companies House record resolves, status active. Number published by the company at https://www.yard-o-led.com. Source, checked 2026-08-29.
• uk hq: Registered office is a UK address: Unit 12 15-17 Regent Place, Birmingham, B1 3NJ. This is the registered office, which is not necessarily where the company operates. Source, checked 2026-08-29.
• uk site: Stated by the company: "Today in our Birmingham workshop, a small number of dedicated craftsmen assemble and decorate every one of Yard O Led's exquisite writing instruments by hand." Source, checked 2026-08-31.
• uk employment: Stated by the company: "Some of these masters have been with the company for over fifty years." Source, checked 2026-08-31.
• uk control: No majority shareholding traced outside the UK (50%+ held within the UK across 2 holders). Source, checked 2026-09-01.

We have only checked company registration so far. Evidence of UK employment or a UK site is the next thing we intend to gather, and until we have it we say so on every product rather than implying it.
