Janitorial
We have been looking after our clients' janitorial needs for over 10 years, supplying everything from vacuum cleaners to toilet rolls. The extensive range of products available allows you to single source everything from us, reducing your suppliers and improving service levels.
The benefits to the environment of incorporating your orders for janitorial supplies with other orders from us are clear to see: one delivery vehicle supplying all your office supplies, print, catering and janitorial products. The reduced carbon footprint is significant when you consider that this group of supplies could come from over four separate sources.
Our stock holding ensures that you will receive items on a next-day delivery service. If you have separate sites that require their own deliveries we can also take care of them as all our products are stocked in our distribution centre. We have access to a great number of manufacturers in this sector and can obtain ‘special’ items when you require them.
A complementary service to our janitorial supplies is our cleaning division. We have worked in partnership with a professional, reliable contractor for the past four years. It is often difficult to find a company that can provide a consistently reliable service, using a team of trustworthy employees. We found one and have referred business to them ever since; this is not something we would do unless we had 110% confidence in them.
If you would like to discuss our janitorial offering and investigate the solution, please contact us:

Catering
We are accustomed to catering for our clients' needs in office supplies, and for the last 5 years those orders have included tea, coffee, water, biscuits, soft drinks and too many more products to mention here. It made sense for us to add this range of products to our portfolio. We delivery the whole range from stock, alongside our normal deliveries.
It’s often the case that these purchases occur outside of normal budgetary controls and in addition members of staff invariably have to leave the office to go and buy the goods. Clients who have incorporated catering products into their office supplies purchases now enjoy the convenience of fast, free delivery and are better able to manage their budgets.
We receive a broad range of requests for different types of catering supplies, tea and coffee being two such products. We stock all of the leading brands and will always aim to accommodate everyone’s personal favourites in your selection!
If you currently buy your catering supplies elsewhere or if you are interested in adding these products to your office supplies basket, please contact us at:

Audio visual
We can help you convey your presentations effectively using the most appropriate audiovisual aids. The options range from a flipchart and easel through to interactive whiteboards and projectors. Choosing the right solution from the start will ensure your presentations are always successful.
We publish our audiovisual catalogue on the web at http://www.our-store.com/almo. This ensures that we have the most up-to-date offering and can introduce any new technologies as and when they are released throughout the year.
We would like to give you a brief guide to the most popular products available:
Projectors
Projectors are commonplace in the modern office and bring a new dimension to any visual presentation; we supply a wide range of models suitable for small, medium or large-scale events. If you require any help looking for the right model, we are happy to help and can demonstrate certain models in your office.
Plasma/LCD
Using a screen and projector is not always practical; a display screen, such as a Plasma or LCD, can be the solution. We can create a mobile system if the screen is attached to a stand fitted with castors, allowing you to make a presentation anywhere in your building.
Sound
Incorporating sound into an audiovisual installation delivers a totally flexible solution. We can supply discreet speakers, which are ideal for a boardroom, or bigger units that would be suitable for larger meeting rooms. This integration can be completed by the addition of a DVD player; we stock models capable of showing films as well as playing CDs and MP3s.
Exhibitions
We have a full range of exhibition products, allowing you the choice of equipment suitable for small desktop shows up to modular systems for larger exhibitions. The accessories we have include literature racks, display cases and lighting. The professional image created is enhanced by the addition of large-format printed panels from our print specialists, incorporating your company logos and information.
Interactive whiteboards
We supply interactive whiteboard solutions from the leading manufacturers, including Clever-Products, Lynx, Mimio, Panasonic and Hitachi. Our range of products is being used successfully in offices, schools and hospitals. With the addition of software and projection equipment, the interactive whiteboard provides you with a powerful visual aid.
Boards
The use of boards to aid visual communication can be an effective solution on its own. We supply whiteboards; notice boards; magnetic, felt and lockable display boards and traditional flipchart easels. In addition to stand-alone boards, we can install rail systems that can be fitted with an array of options.
If you require any audiovisual presentation equipment, we believe that we offer the best service available. The combination of our knowledge in this sector and our broad range of products will deliver you with an enviable solution. For more information please contact us: (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or 020 7635 3500.
Personalised gifts
We introduced our dedicated personalised gift service to complete our print offering. We can now print almost anything, on practically everything. New for 2009 is our 'eco-range': a wide range of products that are environmentally sensitive. We will always offer a 'green' alternative where available.
We manage our personalised gifts on the web, from our online store, http://www.almogifts.co.uk. The catalogue is constantly updated with new and exciting alternatives to the traditional pens, pencils and umbrellas! If you are looking to promote your company, you can personalise products such as pencils from prices as low as eight pence each.
If you are looking to put together a package of items as part of a marketing campaign, we will gladly assist you in getting your message across, using the right products, within your budget. If you already buy personalised gifts and want to get a high level of service at a competitive price, we are the right partners. Many of our clients have now added these products to their regular office products purchasing, lowering their procurement costs and increasing the level of service.
Furniture & Interiors
It is very important to have an organised office environment to maximise productivity and best manage the space available. We can help design a space to fulfil both of these requirements and more; our specialist interiors team have over 20 years' experience of doing just that for our clients.
We are happy to help you with any aspect of your office interior requirements, from finding the right chair for someone with a back problem to a full re-location plan. Our furniture offering is an integral part of our everyday operation and, as such, in this area we deliver the same high level of service.
Our planning team is made up of expert space planners who can provide floor plans to aid in the visualisation of a project. If required, you can even commission a full 3D walk-through of a scheme, enabling you to actually see the end result before we deliver a single item.
Like many of the products we sell, our furniture is supplied with a vast range of options and choices, and, as such, navigating your way through the catalogues can be a difficult task. That is why we have a dedicated publication containing our best-selling products. The furniture and interiors catalogue groups products into ranges, making viewing and selecting a much easier task.
If you do need help finding the right solution, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you:

Office machines
We are surrounded by technology in the office; choosing the right machine can be a daunting task, as if you make the wrong choice it can be costly. We are able to help you every step of the way; from binding machines to paper shredders, we have the right product for your requirements.
The extensive experience and product knowledge of our team ensures you get expert advice before making any decision. Our purchasing team have access to all of the global technology brands and, because of our buying power, we will always deliver you value for money.
In addition to what we classify as ‘everyday’ office machines, we have partnered with a specialist to provide photocopiers and larger printing equipment. Our choice of partner comes from a long-standing relationship and a host of successful referrals. If you require further information please contact us:
(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or 020 7635 3500.
Although we cannot list all the types of machines we sell, we would like to give you a brief guide as to the most popular products available.
Telephones
These are probably more important than the computer! We have a vast range of office telephony available, from a simple desk phone to the latest portable devices. If you require system phones or you are looking to improve your current switchboard, we are happy to advise you.
Fax
This is still a very popular device, despite the onset of email. There is a huge choice, from a simple inkjet fax to departmental laser faxes. It is vital that you buy a machine that is capable of handling your requirements and has a low cost of ownership; we have all this information available.
An inkjet fax machine may be suitable for a home worker or small office, but it would be too slow and expensive to run in a busy sales office.
The laser fax is designed for volume-driven environments requiring fast transmission speeds for multiple pages. Although more expensive to buy than an inkjet machine, it is a more cost-effective purchase and will have lower running costs.
Paper shredder
Managing the destruction of confidential data correctly and efficiently is paramount. Hardly a week goes by without a press report of personal or confidential data ending up in the wrong hands. The effect to a company’s reputation can be devastating. As a result we are finding that more clients are opting to shred onsite, rather than using offsite contractors.
We are able to advise you on a suitable security procedure for shredding. It is our philosophy that once data has been marked for shredding it should be carried out immediately. The cost of under-desk shredders now allows for a very cost-effective solution. We also supply departmental machines or large-scale industrial installations for volume destruction, such as archive material.
Presentation equipment
Making yourself look good is far easier when you are using the right media. Whether it’s a bound report or a computer-driven presentation, we have the right products for the job. The quality available today allows your communications to be taken to a whole new level of professionalism.
Binding
Be it wire, comb or thermal, we supply them all. Each method offers different features and benefits and we can advise you of what these are and find the perfect solution for your needs. There are machines available to fit all budgets, ranging from manual to semi-automatic, and low and high-volume production environments.
Audiovisual
Projectors are commonplace in the modern office and bring a new dimension to any visual presentation; we supply a wide range of models suitable for small, medium or large-scale events. If you require any help looking for the right model, we are happy to help and can demonstrate some models in your office.
Post-room
We have a good selection of paper folders, letter openers and electronic scales. It is possible to find cost-effective products for small office users and large-scale machines suitable for the corporate post room.
Kitchen
We have everything but the sink; well unless we’re doing a re-fit of your office and kitchen. We stock kettles, toasters, microwaves, fridges and coffee machines. Anything you need to keep your office kitchen functioning, we can supply it.
Business cards online
An integral part of our print offering is our web-based ordering site for business cards, allowing you to place an order 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The site stores all of your card templates; all you have to do is enter any of the variable text details, i.e. name, numbers, email address, etc
The main benefit of managing your cards online is the ease with which they can be processed and the speed of delivery. Once you have set your text, the system displays an emailable proof. As soon as this is approved your cards are delivered within 96 hours.
We provide full training on the system (in practice this takes minutes) and once we have loaded all your templates you can start managing your card printing immediately. This technology is the perfect response to the demands of managing business card printing.
The address of the website is http://www.business-cards-online.co.uk/users/zaok.asp. You can explore the features of the site by logging in using demo as the password. If you require any further information or you would like to get started please contact us:

Print
What could be simpler than getting your print delivered along with your office supplies? Take the headache out of ordering print by letting us manage it on your behalf. Our specialist team deals with print jobs on a daily basis, working closely with our print partners to get the highest quality and cost-effective solutions.
Design
We can use your existing layouts and design or re-set the typography to give you a different look and feel. If you need a bit more help and want to use a designer to refresh your corporate identity, or you are considering a complete brand makeover, then we can help. Having recently completed our own brand review, we can guide you to a cost-effective solution.
Print management
The service we offer goes beyond ‘just printing’. We can offer you a complete print-management solution; stocking, controlling and delivering your product in the most efficient way.
Diversity
The range of products available for print is not restricted to the traditional paper forms; we can print onto almost anything. Our ‘Business gifts’ service proves this, offering you an enormous range that can be customised to your requirements. We have printed a huge variety of projects, from the conservative to the extreme; whatever your requirement we can help.
Techie stuff
We select our print partners for their quality, service and competitiveness; unless they tick all these boxes we don’t use them. It makes sense to use a small select group of printers that are specialists in their field, allowing us to access the best equipment and skills available:
Traditional lithographic printing - suitable for high-quality colour work, normally larger quantities.
Digital - highly flexible solution, ideal for short print runs and where a fast turnaround is required.
Specialist - if we need to print on an unusual item or produce large-scale graphics, we will use one of our specialists.
Environmentally sound
We apply the same ‘green’ ethos to our print solutions as we do to the rest of our products and services. We are keen to promote solutions that are eco-friendly, from the paper to the finishing, and will always give you the option where available.
One of the biggest benefits to the environment is through the delivery method we use. All our print is delivered alongside your office supplies orders, thus greatly reducing the carbon footprint of your procurement.
We have a great tool to help you make a decision on using our print service: the ‘Print audit’. It uses similar software to our ‘Office supplies audit’, analysing your existing print requirements and presenting you with a full report and cost comparison. If you are interested in using thus service please contact us:

Computer supplies
We provide an extensive range of computer supplies. It is vital that we keep up with the rapid changes in this market and that's why our purchasing team have built relationships with all the key technology brands, guaranteeing you a consistent supply of the latest product innovations.
One of the most significant pieces of technology in the office today is the printer. Whether it be inkjet, laser or colour laser, it’s given us the flexibility to print documents, on demand, to a very high quality; however, the consumables are often costly. We are able to offer very competitive pricing on these products, and if you are really serious about cost reduction and helping the environment, we have sourced a range of ‘Eco-Toners’ that are equal in quality to the original manufacturer’s cartridge.
We can also work with you to create a sustainable procurement system in addition to collecting your empty cartridges for recycling; this greatly reduces the amount of waste you send to landfill. For more information on how you can save money and reduce your carbon footprint please contact us:
(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or 020 7635 3500.
However, it’s not all about printers; we also supply a wide range of media, from a simple CD-R to high-quality back-up tapes. As this is a specialist, fast-moving sector not all products are listed in our catalogues. If you need help finding something, let us take care of it.
We have supported many different technological changes over the years; it is vital that we are at the forefront of any developments. In many instances the equipment that you purchase would not work correctly without the back-up support from us; being able to supply consumables and accessories at the drop of a hat is one of our strong points.
It is possible to create an even more efficient supply chain if you include ‘Computer supplies’ into your office-products purchasing. This product category often involves other buyers. We have worked with many clients and their purchasing teams to bring these products into the basket of office supplies.
Office supplies
The range of products available is huge, over 30,000 items to choose from, and it's a diverse mix. Of course we have pens, paper and traditional stationery, but we also have all the items you need for your kitchen, post-room, dispatch or warehouse, washrooms, audiovisual requirements and presentations.
The book that hosts this vast collection is simply named ‘Catalogue’, but even this doesn’t have enough pages to represent the complete portfolio of supplies available from us. Our customer service team specialises in finding the right product for you first time; they can do this because our buyers have established relationships with a broad selection of suppliers. If you use it in your office, nine times out of ten we can supply it.
It’s not always practical to use the ‘Catalogue’; therefore, for your convenience we created ‘The Book’, a concise collection of everyday items for your office, offering you the best value. The simplified layout of this catalogue allows you to find what you want quickly, so it saves you time and money!
If you have a product that you are struggling to find in one of our catalogues or would like to make life easier by reducing the number of suppliers you have, we’ll rise to the challenge and find you the right solution. Our email contact is:
