Office Supplies

From paper and toner to staples and pens, we’ll make sure you get exactly what you need at

a price that makes sense. And we’ll give you a service that keeps everything simple.

Supplies made simple

Get the essentials under control.Businesses run on office supplies. Memos, reports, agendas, presentations, bids, letters.

None of them can happen without paper, toner and all the stationery your people use. Yet

it’s easy to take these essentials for granted.

We don’t. And that’s why we’re one of the country’s biggest suppliers. Drawing on our 20

years’ experience, we’ll give you exactly what you need with minimum fuss, whether you’re

a start-up or a multinational.

We’re a one-stop shop with more than 20,000 products from paper clips to projectors. And

if you order before 4pm, and it’s in stock, we’ll get it to you the next day – wherever you

are in the UK.

More than a supplier

We do more than deliver the supplies. We’ll help you think through what you need and

how you get it, so everything happens efficiently, saving you time and money.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re using Ricoh print devices or not. You’ll get the same expert

service, the same care for quality and the same value.

Every business wants to save money. But there’s a difference

between a great deal and a false economy. What look like

bargain products might not be all they seem.

It can pay to spend a little more up front to save yourself a

headache and extra cost later.

For instance, paper isn’t just paper. Quality matters. Use the

right paper in your printers and you’ll cut down on jammed

machines and costly downtime. Use the right kind of toner

and your documents will make the right impression on

partners and customers.

You might also be spending too much without knowing it.

In some offices, people use high-grade, expensive paper for

everyday jobs like printing memos and emails. We’ll make

sure you’re getting the quality right for every job – and not

spending any more than you have to.

We’ll work with you to decide which products are best, so

you save in the long run by making the right choices.

Keeping quality high.

Extra knowledge on your side

Because we know about print too, we bring extra expertise to the table. That knowledge could come in handy in lots of ways, like making sure you’re storing your paper in the right conditions. Or knowing which paper works best with which printers.

Running a tight ship.Office supplies shouldn’t be complicated. So we keep everything as simple as possible. That

way, your people can spend more time doing what they’re best at.

Some businesses don’t have a set way of keeping an eye on supplies and working out what

they need. It’s not clear what products are the ‘standard’, or who orders them. So either it

happens at the last minute, or there’s too much in stock at any one time.

If that sounds familiar, we can help you get everything straight with a process that puts you

in control.

What you need – and nothing else

Paring everything back to a list of approved products saves time and cuts confusion. And

sticking with those products means you’ll get better value, because you’re buying more of

the same thing.

Also, by keeping a close watch on how much you’re using at different times, we’ll help you

anticipate peaks and troughs in demand. So no more stationery cupboards piled high with

stock you won’t need for months. By getting your systems right we’ll save you space as well

as time.

Order in no time

Ordering is easy. Do it online and you can find what you need quickly. No need to comb

bulky catalogues. You can also save the things you order most as ‘favourites’ to help you go

from basket to checkout in a few clicks.

And we’ll unravel any uncertainty by making sure only budget-holders can order and only

named people authorise orders before we go ahead.

How much time do your people spend ordering office supplies? It may not seem much, but it’s time they could be spending on something more productive – and profitable.

That’s why we set out to take the admin of office supplies off their desks. Simple ordering by phone, email or online and clear lines of responsibility make the whole process slick and efficient for everyone. Whether it’s the procurement team or the office manager.

And if we supply your hardware, we’ll combine everything in one invoice to make things simpler for finance too.

Saving time. Saving money

Because we’re one of the biggest in the business, we can do great deals with our suppliers. And we pass the benefit on to our customers. It means you get quality products at the best price.

We’ll also help you get the hidden cost of office supplies out in the open. Our management reports show you how much you’re spending on what, so everything’s clear. You’ll see where you could be trimming expenses, and how to adjust your order to anticipate changing needs.

You’ll also get a grip on the total cost of your print production and work out whether you’re getting the best value from your equipment.

Expert service.Our people live and breathe the industry. And you’ll get the benefit of that expertise.

They’ll keep a close eye on what you need and what’s available, so you’ll always get

what’s best for your business.

We’re there whenever you need us, whether it’s on the phone or face to face with

our account teams. And you’ll always be dealing with people who know your

business, not anonymous advisors.

Great on paper

We’ll have exactly the type of paper you need, from hi-spec stock for production printing to paper for everyday jobs like memos. We’ve been around for long enough to know everyone in the industry. And that means we’re up to speed with all the latest developments. Like synthetic paper that’s waterproof and doesn’t tear, yet still goes through normal printers.

We build long-term relationships with our suppliers,

because trust matters. It means you can be sure everything

we offer is dependable and won’t let you down. And

because we buy in volume, we can get the best possible

value – and pass it on to you.

Everything we offer complies with ISO9001, ISO14001

and ISO27001.
