OfficeTeam began life way back in 1888? We weren’t called OfficeTeam back then though – our name was Oyez. Oyez is an old Anglo-Norman word that means “Hear Ye”, and was a term used in a court of law to call for attention, a name chosen by our founder to market his professional and legal stationery products.
Since then, Oyez developed through
organic growth and acquisition of companies such as Straker, StatPlus, Whitegrove and Dudley, transforming the company into one of the largest office product and service suppliers in the UK. With so many areas of expertise under our belts, a new name was needed for a strong unified brand. In 2010, OfficeTeam was born.
OfficeTeam now serve over 12,000 customers nationwide with an annual turnover of £152m – quite a step up from the small legal stationers established over 120 years ago!
