PIMPERNEL:
Developed in 1933 by Will George, Pimpernel was responsible for creating the first hardboard coaster. In 1933, the Edinburgh-based Pimpernel founder, Will George was liaising with contacts in the whiskey trade, who were encountering numerous breakages during the transportation process. To solve this, Will suggested using pieces of plywood, cut to the same size as the box, with holes shaped to fit the base and necks of the bottles. While this proved a successful solution, many of the circular offcuts were going to waste, which inspired Will to create the first hardboard coaster.
Featuring an extensive array of classic and contemporary designs, in a variety of sizes, Pimpernel is famed for its superior placemat and coaster range. The perfect finishing touch for any table, each individual piece is created using thick, highgrade, 5mm board, topped with an exclusive art print and then meticulously sealed to ensure stain resistance and heat resistance up to 100 degrees  Celsius.
In 2006, Pimpernel International Ltd. went bankrupt and was acquired by the Portmeirion Group PLC. There are now various Pimpernel designs available for purchase on Portmeirion's website.
