For North American pen afficianados, Noodler's has fast become a favourite ink. The range of colours, the fraudproof/waterproof qualities in some lines and the 100% American production process have all appealed.

In Europe, however, we have not had easy access to Noodler's without paying for transatlantic shipping. This was frustrating, but what I didn't realise was that Nathan Tardif, the creator of Noodler's, was getting equally frustrated that UK retailers did not want to stock his ink.

We talked, and we got on. It seemed the most natural thing in the world for me to agree to sell Nathan's ink in the UK and EU, despite never having run a retail business before.

Just a month after that discussion, Noodler's is in the UK, available from my new web shop. Come and have a look.
