Clares photoAbout Clares

30 years of knowledge plus £860M worth of buying power equals a company worth knowing

Clares is one of the top independent office suppliers in the UK and we pride ourselves on being the best of the best.  We are able to offer our customers not only a fast and professional service right across the board from the corporate sector to companies with less than 10 staff (which is where we first started 30 years ago), but also a wealth of experience.

We are commonly referred to by our customers as the Office Supplies Emergency Service because we have pioneered a one-hour flash delivery service for those urgent items you need.  However, for normal orders we can offer a free, next day, delivery service from our distribution network, giving 100% coverage of the UK. A stock holding of £12M ensures 99% of all orders are despatched overnight for a next day UK delivery.

We operate a 'one-stop shop' philosophy where you can purchase all of your stationery, furniture, equipment, print, warehousing, cleaning and even catering needs.   Our motto for these headings is: "If it is on the planet, we can get it!"

 

you can have the best of both worlds?

You will find our customer service is brilliant too.   To summarise, the two main reasons are:

  1. We operate to the BS EN ISO 9001:2000 Standard which means that no matter who you speak to at Clares, we all look after our customers' best interests with the minimum of fuss.  Our Quality Procedures have allowed us to fulfil 99.4% of all orders for a next day delivery, with a customer receiving only one picking error, on average, every four years.
  2. Secondly, we have been awarded the Investors in People Accreditation for our continued commitment to the training and development of all our staff.

    This has helped us to:

  • improve product knowledge
  • reduce errors
  • provide customer service excellence

    Which, in turn, means you are dealing with a helpful and efficient team.
