Our Story
We have been supplying Stationery and Office Equipment to Commercial Businesses, Education and the growing Home Worker sector since 1948. Despite the closure of other stationers, due to Online sales, we continue to thrive as we offer a friendly, customer-focused service with a positive experience.
Over the years our business has diversified to offer additional services to include Business Design Interiors from concept through to Furniture procurement and Installation.
This is supported by our In House DSE/Ergonomics service which is available in the Home, Office and other Commercial settings.
