Britain leads the world in greeting card design and creativity. We spend £1.7bn a year on greeting cards, and export our cards all over the globe; our innovative supplier members play a key part helping us retain this leading position.
GCA supplier members are approved specialist suppliers who are recommended and usually already working with other members.
