On 1st March, Quills Group officially completed the acquisition of Colemans Office Supplies, marking an important milestone for both businesses.

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to our new customers and to the talented employees who have joined us from Colemans. This is an important moment for everyone involved, and we’re pleased to bring our teams together under one shared structure.

Andy Efstathiou, Group CEO of Quills Group said “This acquisition marks an important step forward for our business and strengthens our ability to support customers with even greater reach and capability. We’re delighted to welcome the Colemans team into Quills Group and look forward to building on the strong foundations already in place. Bringing our teams together enhances the value, service and solutions we can deliver to our customers.”

A Warm Welcome to Our New Customers

We remain committed to:

• Delivering reliable service with minimal disruption
• Maintaining strong relationships with your usual contacts

New Regional Director

Mark Dale will be moving over to Quills Group as Regional Director and said “I’m excited to be joining Quills Group and leading the Shipston on Stour office as Regional Director. The owner of Colemans, Steve Coleman took the decision to step away from the business and it was important that we found a group to join whose business ethos and values aligned with Colemans.  Quills Group are able to offer security for the future of our customers and our team.  Becoming part of Quills Group means we can offer our clients more value through additional services, stronger support behind the scenes and competitive pricing moving forward.”

When choosing a workplace supplies partner, trust matters. Service matters. And increasingly, so does sustainability, adaptability and long-term thinking.

That’s why being recognised as BOSS Dealer of the Year is such an important milestone for Quills – not just for us, but for our customers too.

But what exactly is the BOSS Federation, and what were Quills judged on to win?

Who are the BOSS Federation?

The BOSS Federation is the leading trade association for the UK Office Products and Workplace Supplies industry. It represents dealers, manufacturers, wholesalers and service providers across the sector and plays a central role in supporting collaboration, innovation and best practice.

The BOSS Federation exists to support its network of members by bringing together working groups and industry experts who share insight, guidance and best practice. This collaborative approach helps members stay well informed, adapt to change, and deliver high standards of service, responsibility and professionalism to their customers.

What is the BOSS Dealer of the Year Award?

The BOSS Dealer of the Year Award is one of the most respected accolades in the workplace supplies sector. Crucially, it is not an award companies can simply enter or buy into.

To be considered:

• Quills first had to be nominated by industry peers or partners

• We then had to accept the nomination and commit to completing a detailed application to be assessed by a panel of judges

From there, the process becomes evidence-based, structured and independently reviewed.

What were Quills judged on?

The judging process required a comprehensive application supported by real examples, data and outcomes. Judges – made up of experienced industry professionals – assessed Quills across several key areas:

How we look after our customers

This focused on service delivery, responsiveness, relationship management and our ability to support customers consistently and reliably. It wasn’t about claims – it was about how we operate day to day.

Diversification beyond traditional office supplies

The workplace has changed, and Quills has evolved with it. Judges looked at how we have expanded our offer to support the wider workplace, ensuring customers can rely on us as a single, trusted partner rather than multiple suppliers.

Environmental and sustainability achievements

Sustainability was a core part of the assessment. Quills was required to share its environmental actions, responsible sourcing, and how it supports customers with their own environmental goals. Achieving ISO 14001 accreditation in July 2025 was a major milestone for us as a business, demonstrating our commitment to managing environmental impacts and to commit to continuously improve our sustainability practices.

Adapting to changing customer needs

The judges examined how Quills has remained flexible, innovative and forward-thinking as customer expectations, working patterns and workplace requirements continue to evolve.

Why this recognition matters to our customers

Winning BOSS Dealer of the Year provides independent reassurance that Quills:

• Operates to high, industry-recognised standards

• Delivers service that stands up to external scrutiny

• Takes sustainability seriously, with solid processes and actions behind it

• Is a stable, future-focused workplace partner for its clients

It is third-party validation of the values and service our customers experience every day.

More than an award

For us, this award isn’t a finish line – it’s a benchmark. It reinforces our commitment to:

• Putting customers first

• Continually improving how we support our customers in an evolving workplace

• Investing in responsible, sustainable solutions

• Building long-term partnerships, not just supplying products

We’re proud to be recognised by the BOSS Federation, and we’re even more proud of what it represents for the customers who trust Quills to support their workplace and business functions.

The post The Boss Awards – What it means for customers appeared first on Quills UK.

Since launching in 2021, our Eco Rewards Programme has been rewarding customers for making more sustainable purchasing decisions, turning everyday workplace supplies into meaningful environmental action.

By choosing environmentally friendly products, our customers earn points that can be redeemed for rewards that give something back. And when those points are redeemed for the Eco Reward, this means you are choosing to plant a tree supporting the World Land Trust Plant a Tree programme.

122 Saplings Planted in 2025 

When customers redeem their points for the Eco Reward, a sapling is planted through the World Land Trust Plant a Tree Programme.

In 2025 alone, thanks to our customers choosing to redeem their points in this way, we funded the planting of 122 saplings.  From the launch of Eco Rewards in 2021, through to the end of 2025, we have now planted 264 trees in total.  We’re absolutely delighted at how the scheme is gaining momentum, as nearly half of all trees planted since the programme began were donated in 2025 alone! That’s real, measurable impact created through simple, sustainable purchasing decisions.so thank you to our clients (you know who you are!).

Supporting the World Land Trust Plant a Tree Appeal

The World Land Trust’s Plant a Tree appeal helps fund the restoration of critically threatened habitats across the globe. Working with trusted local conservation partners, the charity ensures native tree species are planted in areas where they will have the greatest long-term environmental benefit – helping to stabilise soil, improve biodiversity and support endangered wildlife.

Through this programme, our customers aren’t just planting a tree – they’re contributing to carefully managed, science-led conservation projects that protect land for the future.

You can learn more about the appeal here: https://www.worldlandtrust.org/appeals/plant-a-tree

Each sapling contributes to:

• Restoring vital ecosystems
• Supporting biodiversity
• Helping to combat climate change
• Protecting threatened habitats

How Eco Rewards Works

The programme is straightforward:

• Earn 10 points for every £100 spent, which includes environmental products
• Reach 40 points
• Redeem your reward

At 40 points, customers can choose to:

🌳 Plant a Tree – via the World Land Trust, Plant a Tree programme

At 80 points (£10), customers can choose to:

Community Support – claim a £10 supermarket/food voucher
Employee Recognition – claim with a £10 voucher
Charity donation – donate £10 to Dogs Trust Charity
Plant 2 Trees – via the World Land Trust, Plant a Tree programme

It’s sustainability made simple, giving businesses the flexibility to choose how they make an impact.

Why This Win Means So Much

For years, we’ve kept our focus firmly on our customers – quietly improving, evolving, and delivering the service they rely on day in, day out.

This award is a huge milestone and reflects the incredible hard work, dedication, and passion of the entire Quills Team.

The BOSS Federation judges commented that: “Quills has shown great evolution – making meaningful changes to the business, expanding into additional new sectors, successfully servicing new clients, and achieving the ISO 14001 accreditation.”

Partnership and Thanks

To our suppliers: Your collaboration, consistency, and shared commitment to quality make it possible for us to deliver exceptional service. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey.

To our fantastic team – we work as one, and this award truly belongs to all of us. We genuinely couldn’t do this without you. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment are the driving force behind everything we achieve, and we are sincerely thankful for each and every one of you.

Here’s to continued evolution, growth, and delivering excellence in 2025 and beyond. 🚀

When it comes to managing washrooms efficiently, small changes can deliver surprisingly big savings. Many organisations – from schools to large corporate offices – are now turning to smarter janitorial solutions that not only improve hygiene and sustainability but also cut costs significantly.

At Quills Group, we’ve recently helped a leading educational client make the switch to a modern, high-efficiency washroom system – and the results speak for themselves.

1. Foam Soap: Big Savings in Every Pump

Switching from traditional liquid soap to foam soap can deliver 19%+ savings straight away. Foam soap uses less product per wash, reducing the frequency of refills while still delivering excellent hygiene performance.

• Less product, same cleanliness – foam soap spreads more efficiently across the hands.
• Fewer refills – reducing the time your facilities team spends maintaining dispensers.
• Less packaging and waste – lowering your environmental impact.

2. Toilet Tissue That Goes Further

Our client also saw 8–11% savings on toilet tissue usage thanks to a controlled dispensing system. This system releases just the right amount of paper per use, preventing waste and ensuring a consistent supply throughout the day.

3. Free-on-Loan Hardware – Installed, Filled, and Ready to Use

One of the most attractive benefits of our janitorial solution is that all new washroom hardware is provided free on loan.

Our professional installation team takes care of everything:

• Removing and recycling old dispensers.
• Installing and filling the new system.
• Leaving everything clean, tidy, and ready for immediate use.

This means no upfront investment, no disruption, and no waste – just immediate improvements to your washroom facilities.

4. Smarter Maintenance with Universal Keys

Ever had a facilities team juggling multiple dispenser keys? We’ve solved that too. With one universal key for all toilet roll and soap dispensers, maintenance is simpler and faster.

Combined with generic refill products, this helps reduce supply chain complexity, paperwork, and invoicing – freeing up time and reducing operational costs.

5. Better for People and the Planet

Beyond the savings, our washroom systems are designed with hygiene and sustainability in mind:

• “You only touch what you use” designs minimise contact and cross-contamination.
• Leak-free, efficient dispensing ensures no product waste.
• Fewer deliveries and less storage space needed – thanks to more compact, longer-lasting refills.
• Reduced weight to transport and handle, lowering carbon emissions.

Real Results, Real Impact

After their upgrade, our educational client reported smoother day-to-day maintenance and a noticeable reduction in costs. With fewer refills and deliveries, their onsite facilities team gained valuable time to focus on other important tasks — and the school was able to reallocate the money saved to other areas of their budget.

The rise of hybrid working has reshaped the way businesses think about office design. With employees splitting their time between home and the workplace, the modern office must now support a blend of collaboration, focused work, and remote communication.

Designing a hybrid workspace isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about creating an environment that’s agile, adaptable, and future-proof. From flexible furniture and integrated technology to purposeful zoning and efficient storage, every element of a hybrid office plays a role in supporting productivity and wellbeing.

1. Adaptable Furniture: Supporting Changing Needs

In hybrid environments, no two days look the same. One day the office may be buzzing with meetings, and the next it may serve as a quiet hub for focused individual work. To accommodate this flexibility, it’s essential to invest in furniture that can be easily reconfigured.

Foldable Conference and Meeting Tables

Foldable tables on castor wheels are ideal for dynamic workspaces. These versatile solutions:

• Fold flat for compact storage when not in use
• Include lockable wheels for easy transportation between rooms
• Enable rapid setup for meetings, training sessions, or collaborative workshops
• Support multifunctional spaces where room layouts need to change frequently

This type of furniture ensures that meeting rooms, breakout areas, and open-plan zones can adapt to various uses throughout the day.

Modular Seating and Mobile Workstations

Modular seating systems and hot-desking setups provide a flexible alternative to traditional fixed desks. Mobile workstations with integrated power and storage can be positioned wherever they’re needed, supporting both solo work and team collaboration.

Ergonomic, adaptable furniture helps ensure comfort and inclusivity – especially important when accommodating a rotating mix of employees.

2. Integrated Technology for Hybrid Collaboration

Hybrid work relies heavily on connectivity. An effective workspace must support seamless interaction between in-office and remote colleagues.

Key technology integrations include:

• Video conferencing tools in meeting rooms, with high-quality cameras, microphones, and speakers
• Interactive screens and digital whiteboards for real-time collaboration
• Built-in power and charging points at desks and communal tables
• Desk and room booking systems to manage occupancy and resources efficiently

Integrating this technology into the physical design of the workspace improves accessibility and ensures that digital collaboration is smooth and reliable.

3. Zoning: Designing for Purpose and Focus

Hybrid offices work best when they are divided into purposeful zones that reflect different types of work activity. Zoning helps employees navigate the space based on their needs – whether it’s quiet focus, group collaboration, or informal meetings.

Common workspace zones include:

• Quiet focus areas: For deep concentration or solo tasks
• Private booths and acoustic pods: For video calls and virtual meetings
• Collaboration zones: Open spaces with movable tables and soft seating for team-based work
• Multi-use spaces: Rooms that can quickly convert from a meeting area to a training room using foldable tables and stackable chairs

The Role of Quiet Spaces to Support Neurodiverse Needs

Quiet zones are particularly important in hybrid offices – not just for general productivity, but also for creating an inclusive working environment. These spaces offer employees the opportunity to concentrate on detailed work or project-based tasks without distraction.

They are also essential for supporting neurodiverse team members, who may find open-plan environments overstimulating. By offering areas with reduced noise, low foot traffic, and minimal visual clutter, businesses can ensure that their workspace design caters to a wider range of working styles and cognitive needs.

Well-designed quiet areas help everyone work more effectively – especially in environments where the number of people and activities fluctuates throughout the week.

4. Smart Storage and Space Management

With employees rotating in and out of the office, storage solutions must be flexible and efficient. Hybrid workplaces benefit from:

• Personal lockers or cubbies for storing equipment and belongings
• Mobile storage units that can be moved or reconfigured easily
• Cable management systems to keep shared desks tidy and functional
• Dedicated storage zones for foldable tables and modular furniture when not in use

Keeping the office organised and clutter-free is essential in maintaining a professional, agile space.

5. Comfort, Sustainability, and Wellbeing

A well-designed hybrid workspace isn’t just about functionality – it should also support employee comfort, wellbeing, and sustainability goals.

Design considerations include:

• Ergonomic seating and adjustable desks to accommodate different body types and preferences
• Natural lighting, plants, and biophilic design to boost mood and reduce stress
• Acoustic panels and soft furnishings to manage noise in shared spaces
• Sustainable materials and recyclable furniture to reduce environmental impact

Creating a workspace that feels safe, inspiring, and supportive encourages employees to make the most of their time in the office.

Designing for the Future of Work

Hybrid working is here to stay. Designing interiors that support both flexibility and function helps businesses remain agile and competitive, while providing employees with the tools and spaces they need to thrive.

From foldable meeting tables and modular furniture to integrated tech and well-zoned layouts, the right design choices can transform an office into a vibrant, multi-purpose environment ready to meet the demands of a changing workforce. To learn more click here .

When we think about what makes a workplace run smoothly, facilities management doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves. But behind every productive, happy team is a well-maintained environment – and that’s where facilities management plays a key role.

From air quality to lighting to cleanliness, the physical space we work in directly affects how we feel and how well we perform. Let’s take a look at some of the hidden ways good facilities management supports employee wellbeing and boosts productivity.

Facilities Management

1. Comfort Drives Focus

Temperature too hot? Too cold? Lighting too harsh? These issues can be subtle distractions that add up over time. Effective facilities management ensures that heating, cooling, and lighting systems are working properly – creating a workspace that’s comfortable, calming, and conducive to getting things done.

✅ A well-balanced environment helps teams stay focused and energised.

2. Good Air Quality Supports Clear Thinking

Air quality is often overlooked, but it has a big impact on mental clarity and long-term health. Well-maintained HVAC systems and good ventilation help remove dust, allergens, and carbon dioxide, making it easier to think clearly and feel refreshed throughout the day.

✅ Fresh air = fresh thinking.

3. Mental Wellbeing Gets a Boost

When employees see that their working environment is looked after, it sends a clear message: the business cares about their comfort and safety. This builds trust and encourages a more positive attitude towards the workplace – something that can go a long way in supporting mental wellbeing.

✅ Feeling valued leads to higher engagement and satisfaction.

4. Less Disruption, More Flow

Proactive maintenance helps prevent those minor issues – like flickering lights, squeaky doors, or leaking taps – from becoming major distractions. It also minimises downtime by spotting and fixing problems before they interrupt the workday.

✅ Fewer disruptions mean better workflow and improved morale.

5. Organised Spaces Help Reduce Stress

A tidy, well-maintained workspace supports better organisation and reduces visual clutter. Simple things like proper storage, labelled recycling bins, and cable management make daily tasks easier and help promote a sense of calm and order.

✅ An organised space can lead to clearer thinking and lower stress levels.

6. Clean Spaces Mean Healthier Teams

Regular, thorough cleaning helps to stop the spread of germs, reduces sick days, and creates a more pleasant work environment. In high-touch areas like restrooms, kitchens, and meeting rooms, consistent hygiene routines can make a noticeable difference to both physical health and peace of mind.

✅ Better hygiene = fewer absences and happier staff.

7. A Better Experience for Everyone

Whether it’s your team, visitors, or clients, everyone benefits from a workspace that runs smoothly. Functioning lifts, clean restrooms, well-lit corridors, and safe entry points all contribute to a positive and professional experience.

✅ A well-managed space enhances first impressions and daily experience alike.

In Summary

Facilities management is often working in the background – but its impact is anything but invisible. It plays a key role in shaping a workplace that promotes health, productivity, and employee satisfaction. Investing in this area isn’t just about maintenance; it’s about creating an environment where people can do their best work.

Monday 28th April marked World Day for Safety and Health at Work – a timely reminder that creating a safe and healthy workplace starts with the right protective gear. Whether you’re in construction, warehousing, logistics, or engineering, it’s essential that your team has the correct equipment to stay safe, comfortable, and compliant.

Smarter Workwear That Works for Everyone

Gone are the days when workwear was a one-size-fits-all, unisex affair. Today, many leading suppliers are designing ranges specifically tailored for women, offering improved comfort, functionality, and fit, without compromising on safety.

High-Vis Clothing: Stay Safe, Stay Seen

High-visibility clothing is essential for anyone working near vehicles, machinery, or in low-light environments. From vests to jackets, high-vis workwear helps reduce the risk of accidents by making your team stand out. And it’s not just about visibility, it’s about compliance too.  With executive,

Explore high-vis options here to ensure your team is equipped with reflective and durable options that meet the latest safety standards.

Head-to-Toe Protection: Safety Starts at the Top

Head protection is a must-have in construction, manufacturing and many other environments where falling objects pose a risk. Hard hats and helmets are available in various lightweight, comfortable styles that don’t compromise on impact resistance.

Don’t Overlook Eye and Hearing Protection

Eye injuries can happen in an instant, so having the right safety glasses and goggles is key when working with tools, chemicals, or in dusty environments. Our selection includes anti-fog, scratch-resistant, wraparound, and prescription-compatible styles.

Hearing damage is another serious but often overlooked risk. Prolonged exposure to loud environments can lead to permanent hearing loss, which is why ear protection like ear plugs and defenders is a must in industries such as manufacturing, aviation and construction.

Get a Grip on Glove Safety

Safety gloves are a vital part of any PPE kit, and the right type depends on the task at hand. Whether you require disposable or reusable gloves, its important to ensure you have the right gloves to suit the task and environment. From nitrile gloves for chemical resistance, to cut-resistant gloves for handling sharp materials, and thermal gloves for cold conditions, there’s a specialist option for every need.

We know that understanding the symbols and safety ratings on gloves can be confusing, which is why we recommend reaching out to our team for guidance.  You can also request our free guide to understanding the safety symbols.

Let Us Help with a Free PPE Audit

With so many options on the market, and safety symbols that can sometimes feel like a puzzle, it can be difficult to know whether your current workwear and PPE are fit for purpose. That’s why Quills offers a free PPE audit. We’ll review what you currently use, see if your range can be simplified or improved, and ensure your equipment is compliant – click here to request a call back.
