EU BUSINESS NEWS /2021 Irish Enterprise Awards 59 , Best Office Supplies Company 2021 & Embracing Change Award for Business Resilience Since 1972, Sundry Supplies Ltd has provided office spaces of Ireland with all the products and solutions they require to be productive working environments. Now, as home offices take over traditional offices as the norm thanks to Covid-19, we find out how this well- established office supplies company is adapting to the newwork-from-home model. Feb21148 Based in Dublin and serving the length and breadth of Ireland, Sundry Supplies is well on its way to achieving its ambition of being the premier Office Supplies Solution Provider in the country, dedicated to delivering exceptional products and services to its clients. Established in 1972 as a small, independent stationery supplier, Sundry Supplies is today a one- stop service for all workplace and office supply needs that has retained the values and devotion of a 100% Irish, family-run business that goes above and beyond for its valued clientele. In the last year, Sundry Supplies has seen its solutions take on an added dimension, as the working-from-home phenomenon born from the Covid-19 pandemic has seen customers seeking supplies for their home offices, in addition to their traditional workplaces. As Sundry Supplies approximates that the ‘WFH’ trend is set to be the norm, with 35% of the working population predicted to work from home either full or part-time from now on, the firm has adjusted its product offering and its services to accommodate this evolution. As a result, Sundry Supplies provides office furniture for workplaces and home offices, as well as office supplies, technology, ergonomically knowledgeable and relevant insights on products and customers can make the best decision for their needs. A team of hard-working, customer- centric individuals, Sundry Supplies has pulled through an undoubtedly challenging year with resilience and optimism, striving always to deliver the best possible service to customers no matter what adversity may arise. To that end, Sundry Supplies regularly reviews the pricing of its services and products, as well as its internal processes, to ensure its solutions and logistics are up to date and as effective as possible. The firm also recently invested in a brand-new look for its website, complete with more insights into the Sundry Supplies story designed equipment and furniture, inks and toners, cleaning and catering equipment, and safety and PPE products. The company offers free nationwide delivery on orders over € 50, as well as next day delivery on stationery and stocked goods. With its friendly customer service, aftersales care, and seamless accounting services, Sundry Supplies is truly the one- stop-shop for all office needs. While the Sundry Supplies team has taken the impacts of the pandemic in their stride by releasing its new lines of WFH supplies and enhancing its existing lines, the firm has also had to contend with the impacts of Brexit on the Irish economy and its operations. Once again, however, Sundry Supplies has proven its resilience and versatility, preparing for the busy period of activity Ireland is anticipating as the only English- speaking country in the EU. Being based in Europe with the majority of its suppliers means Sundry Supplies will be able to avoid the hassle of Brexit charges and tariffs and continue to deliver uninterrupted services for clients. Key to the superior service of Sundry Supplies is the team that empowers the company’s customer experience. The internal culture of the firm is one of informed teamwork, that centres around regular training so that staff can offer so far, video content, and more information on how Sundry Supplies can benefit clients and their office spaces. Thus, with a new website, added product lines in its portfolio, an ever-growing clientele, and a solid team that has proven its mettle in a challenging year for all, Sundry Supplies is taking on 2021 with optimism. By listening and engaging with clients to deliver the best service experience, Sundry Supplies can keep its supply lines strong and its approach nimble and proactive, thereby affirming its position as a leader in the office supply industry of Ireland.
