Founders of Stop The Clock posing together with a business award

Stop The Clock Design was created in 2008 by two friends who met while studying textiles and began selling their print work and greeting cards at local fairs from a garden shed.

Inspired by a shared love of colour, humour, and all things quirky - especially dogs in hats - the pair built a brand designed to bring laughter, personality, and creativity to everyday gifting.

What started small quickly grew into a thriving business, with their cards now stocked in hundreds of retailers and enjoyed around the world. Today, Stop The Clock Design works from a converted pub office, complete with the original bar still in place.

Known for playful illustrations and a light-hearted approach to design, the brand continues to create fresh new collections packed with colour, charm, and character.
