Dealer Excellence - Futurform
Where it all began… Four people. Three pallets of Xerox paper and a handful of clients. That’s how Futurform started back in August 2000, when Keith, Wayne, Darren and Michelle spotted a gap in the market for a supplier that puts pricing transparency first.
Things are a little different now, with 40+ staff, 7 divisional areas, 6 locations, 15+ awards and 11m+ sales.
Today we live and breathe through our core values:
Go further: Go above and beyond the call of duty and love our customers and company.
Be honest: Be able to hold ourselves to account and act with integrity while having a winning mentality.
Have fun: take pride in our work, have fun and be friendly to others.
Do more: Love our planet, get involved and drive change.
We launched our Janitoral division this year and during the last 12 months our sales have topped £1m+.
Working along side new designers and suppliers across the globe has seen a dramatic increase in our Furniture division which has grown significantly. Our sales have topped £3m+ for this division.
We have recently launched a dedicated website for the educational sector bulkschoolsupplies.co.uk. This webstore is aimed at primary schools, with an emphasis on making savings on the products they purchase the most of. We are currently supplying 5,000+ schools.
Being shortlisted for the BOSS Awards for the second year running means everything to us. We feel that this is such a huge achievement within our industry and it feels great to be recognised alongside the two other dealers in the category.
Fingers crossed for a win this year as that would just be the icing on the cake!!
We started as a family business, and have taken these aspects right through the journey so far to improve the quality of work-life for our employees. We organise fun sporting events and nights out. We have installed a table tennis table to give our staff a place of exercise and a meeting place at lunchtimes.
Our charity work is also high on our list of activities, supporting a Charity that helped a dear friend and work colleague through his final days. We continue to give on an annual basis with various fund raising activities throughout the year.
The last few years we have highly focussed on our Green impact for the planet, providing all staff members with education and help, to make Futurform a Greener and more Sustainable company, moving forward, so that it helps our next generations.
