ABSOLUTE OFFICE SOLUTIONS Stationery & Office Furniture Priced to compete with a service that can’t be beat! The interpretation of value is different for everyone. For some it’s price, or the need to receive something for nothing, while others prefer a warm welcome and a friendly smile. The notion of keeping everyone happy is a daunting task because of the need, by definition, to include all of the value components into a single service. Few companies attempt such a challenge, and of those that do most fail, but here at Absolute added value service has been the backbone of our business for over 20 years. We are very aware that the products we supply can be bought from other stationers but what separates Absolute from our competitors is the extra effort we put into each and every sale. Absolute is one of the leading independent Office Supplies companies in the U.K. supplying both our own award winning Initiative range of office products as well as branded products from all of the major global manufacturers. What we Supply We sell a wide range of office supplies – from writing equipment, paper, filing to high tech items such as flash drives, multifunction printers and a wide range of own brand and original ink and toner cartridges. We also specialise in office furniture and offer a complete project
management service from start to finish, providing detailed support and solutions to fit in with your requirements. From CAD drawings to delivery and installation, our in-house team will ensure every aspect of the project runs smoothly. Printed stationery is currently the fastest growing sector of our business and our complete print management service really does take the hassle away from you. From business cards and letterheads, to full colour flyers, brochures and banners, we ensure meticulous detail is adhered to, deadlines are met and quality is unquestionable. At Absolute we strive to provide a unique one stop shop of products and services to our customers. However, we are great believers that people do business with people and this is the defining philosophy we use to conduct our business.
