in

We’re thrilled to announce that Quills Group acquired Online Office Products (OOP) as of 1st July 2025. This exciting development marks another step forward in our continued commitment to delivering exceptional service, sustainable solutions, and comprehensive workplace supplies to customers across the UK.

Founded and operated by Mike and Jayne Martin, Online Office Products has built a strong reputation for reliability, personal service, and customer care. After many successful years at the helm, Mike and Jayne have made the decision to hand over the reins to Quills Group – a move they believe is the right step to support the company’s future growth and provide long-term value for customers under new ownership.

“We’ve worked hard to build a loyal customer base and a team that truly cares. Partnering with Quills ensures our clients will benefit from even greater resources, innovation, and product choice, while maintaining the service standards they’re used to,” said Mike Martin. “We’re confident Quills is the perfect fit to take OOP to the next level.”

As part of the acquisition, we’re delighted to welcome the OOP team; John, Mellissa and Mark, who will be joining Quills Group and continuing to provide the same great support to their valued customers. Additionally, Mike Martin will remain closely involved in the business for the next 12 months, along side Sales Director Tom Davinson, to ensure a seamless handover and uninterrupted service.

We’re excited to welcome Online Office Products customers and employees to the Quills family,” said Tom Davinson. “Mike and Jayne have built a fantastic business and we look forward to honouring that legacy while expanding our offering with enhanced services and sustainable workplace solutions.”

At Quills, we remain focused on delivering a smooth transition for all OOP clients and employees, and we’re here to support them.

Stay tuned for more updates from Quills and once again, a very warm welcome to all new customers and team members.
