Excel University of Cambridge

Onoto

£499

With a more compact and stylish design than the classic Magna, the Excel University of Cambridge Pen is designed to include the University of Cambridge crest on the top of the cap. Alumni also have the option to have the crest of their college inserted into the end of the barrel, and their name, initials and/or year of graduation engraved on the barrel, connecting an extremely valuable memory of their time in Cambridge. 10% of the net sale price goes to the University of Cambridge for every pen sold through this website.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THE ONOTO PEN COMPANY LIMITED, number 03744683. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
