About us
Everything your business needs in one place
At Active Office we're all about three things - business, productivity and how we bring them together. For almost 60 years we've been driven by these three passions that run through everything we do.
Family added value
We’re like a family, so naturally we’re friendly, approachable and always here to help. Passionate about what we do, whether it’s stationery, furniture, workwear, technology or even just answering the phone. So if you do call us, you can be sure that we’ll always find the right person for you – whatever your query. And with a growing team of over 50, there’s always an expert on hand to happily share their knowledge with you. From supplies to business technology we’ve got the awards, experience, positive reviews, so we must know a thing or two.
Knowledge
What we know. Inside Out. Office Supplies. Furniture. Workwear. Technology. Print. Business intelligence. These are the things we do, live and breathe.
Service
How we do things. People-focused. Going the extra mile. Passionate about giving people what they need. Build relationships and loyalty. Speed. On-time deliveries.
Satisfaction
What sets us apart. Our depth of understanding and guidance. Innovative and visionary sourcing. Award-winning service. The reasons people keep coming back.
Coverage
With locations either side of the Scottish Central Belt, Active Office are your first choice for quality and rapid order fulfilment.

Underneath our Active Office brand sit our four sub-divisions. Using our experience and knowledge within the business solution and technology industries, we have become a leader in our field. Each division has its own skilled specialists who come together and to deliver the complete range of services needed for a modern business.
Supplies
We really believe that we have every item of stationery that your staff will ever need. We’ve carefully categorised our products so no matter what you are looking for – you will find it, order it, with the minimum of fuss.
Furniture

Our locations

Our modern offices are also our showroom where we demonstrate and display our range of products and technology. We also have an onsite warehouse, a dedicated customer service centre, and our in-house print centre and design studio which produces everything from mail shots, printed stationery to full size posters and signage.

Responsible business
Committed to a sustainable future
With ambitious goals and action, Active Office is building a sustainable business for our customers and the planet. We are committed to sustainability and are working to better understand, track, and quantify our environmental footprint - it’s good for business, the planet, our customers, and our communities.
Areas of focus
We focus on the areas where we can have the greatest impact, which include carbon, water, waste, and ecosystems across all the work we do. Staff are encouraged to play their part and open themselves up to the benefits a responsible attitude can bring.
Plastics
Our vision is that none of our packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfill, in oceans, lakes and rivers.
We are determined to reduce our use of single-use plastics in both our own organisation as well as customer supply operations. Our commitment is that our own packaging is recyclable or reusable by 2025.
Energy
With energy consumption rising, it is important that businesses use energy more efficiently, so that less is wasted.
We implemented key initiatives on reducing energy. Recently investing in an eco-friendly smart sensor lighting system throughout and a low carbon heating and water system.
Packaging
Redesigning packaging to reduce waste and making our own-label products in more environmentally friendly ways.
In an effort to reduce waste at every step of our supply chain, we are constantly exploring ways to minimize damage to products during the transportation and delivery process.
Recycling
We are taking responsibility for materials in our operations to reduce our environmental footprint.
We introduced initiatives and services to minimizing waste, increasing recycling for our customers. Supplying on-site recycling containers for products such as batteries and toners.
Paper
Reducing paper usage and re-use plays a major role at Active Office.
With pro-active customer awareness and sustainability promotion we are enabling our customer to also reduce paper wastage with our dedicated secure paper recycling service.
Products
We know our customers are looking to make smart, sustainable choices. We are constantly working to innovate with our products and suppliers allowing us to provide customers with the information they want to make their sustainable choices easy.
Supporting our community
We are dedicated to social responsibility. We firmly believe that you only get out what you put in and that's why we like to help good causes where and when we can. To support this commitment, we work with charity and not for profit organisations where we dedicate the entire resource of the company to a chosen cause.
The Braveheart Cycling Fund
The Braveheart Fund was launched in 2003 by former British champion, Motorola professional and Giro d'Italia survivor Brian Smith. Its aim is simple: to raise the funds to allow young Scottish cyclists, be they roadies, trackies or mountain bikers, to fulfil their potential. Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy is a committed patron and other supporters help out on a more infrequent basis and there are always opportunities for others to get involved.
Braveheart Thunderdrome Events
In 2011 we supported the Braveheart Fund by branding their inaugural track cycling event in conjunction with the opening of the Glasgow Cycling Venue – The Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
The Braveheart Thunderdrome seen riders from Team Scotland, England, Europe and a special Team Braveheart entry competing in a special demo event. We produced event programmes, Trackside advertising banners, e-marketing campaigns and also volunteered at the Braveheart Fundraising Dinner.
Cash For Kids
Our continual support and commitment includes making donations and taking part in the Cash For Kids annual ball by taking a table at the event and showing our support in any way we can to this fantastic charity.
