Which stationery retailer did Dragon's Den investor Theo Paphitis also own after acquiring Ryman?

London Graphic Centre was a stationery retailer that Dragon's Den investor Theo Paphitis also owned after acquiring Ryman.

London Graphic Centre is a specialist retailer serving artists, designers, students and other creative customers. Paphitis acquired the business as part of his wider retail interests, which extended beyond the high-street stationery chain Ryman.

The two businesses are easy to conflate because both sell stationery and related products. Ryman is a national office-supplies retailer, while London Graphic Centre has a specialist creative and design orientation and is associated with central London.

Paphitis's retail portfolio included several distinct brands. Identifying the exact company matters because his public biography is often summarised simply as “the Ryman entrepreneur,” even though his business activities covered multiple retail segments.
