BOSS E-News 14.11.13

A massive congratulations to everyone who took part in the Climb of Life in aid of The Institute of Cancer Research last week! 120 trekkers in 11 teams battled through the wind and rain, (accompanied by a little sun and snow!) and did themselves proud by achieving all of their Mountain Peak Goals, all over the Lake District. A huge thank you goes out to all those who donated as the total amount raised for the charity was £81,380, exceeding last years total by £1,200!

Donations are still welcomed so please give generously at:

With the decline in "traditional office products" over recent years OP resellers have increasingly turned to other product areas and one of these key areas is FM (Facilities Management) Supplies or Janitorial/Sanitorial/Health and Safety Supplies, a market estimated to be 30% larger than the traditional OP sector. To understand this market Martin Wilde Associates (MWA) - specialist researchers to the global OP market - and OPI - the global OP industry magazine - are proud to announce the publication of a new research study, "FM Supplies: Mountain or Molehill?", which provides answers to key questions.

If you'd like to find out more about this market or to order your copy of the report please fill out and return this form to OPI:
