Supply Shack, a social enterprise in Bournemouth, has been awarded the “Dealer of the year – under £1 million” award. The prestigious prize was announced at Superstat Conference 2015 in Liverpool on Friday 12th June.

Superstat is the most progressive office product dealer group in the UK. Every year, it hosts a national conference followed by a Superstat Awards Dinner to recognise and reward those in the office supplies industry. The “Dealer of the year” award category is designed to recognise a dynamic dealer that meets the needs of its customers by providing a comprehensive package of products, resources and services, with pioneering initiatives to elevate as a forerunner in the market.

Commenting on winning the award, Supply Shack’s managing director Des Day said, “We’re over the moon with winning this prestigious award which I would like to dedicate to all the team at Supply Shack and all our customers who made this possible. Keep buying social and there will be so much more we can give back to good causes.”

Founded in 2011 in Bournemouth as a social enterprise with an ethos of trading for social and environmental purposes, Supply Shack is growing at a rapid pace. The company has earned a lot of favour from a wide range of businesses for high-quality and competitively priced office products with profits going to good causes and providing employment opportunities for those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
