Employee-owned.
Customer-Led.
Relationship-focused.
We’re proud to be a leading national provider of workplace supplies and services, and even prouder to be 100% employee owned.
Our Vision
To delight our customers - ethically, sustainably, and professionally.
As an employee owned business, every team member has a stake in the company’s success, driving us all to go the extra mile for our customers, every single day. Our people don’t just work here — they own it. And that’s reflected in the care we take with every product we supply, every order we fulfil, and every relationship we build.
We aim to provide the best of both worlds: the stability and efficiency of a large provider with the friendly, flexible service of a local partner. With 10 regional offices, 5 distribution centres, and over 200 employees, we’re big enough to deliver but small enough to care.
