Helping people and workplaces thrive, one order, one conversation, one relationship at a time.
What started as a small idea in a spare room has grown into a nationwide family business. We’ve adapted, learned, and evolved — but one thing has never changed: our belief that business is about more than products; it’s about people, trust, and genuine connection.
Proudly established family-run business

As a family-run business, we take pride in doing things the right way – supporting our clients, our community, and our planet with every delivery.
OUR STORY
From Family Roots To A Trusted National Workplace Partner
It all started in a spare bedroom, a laptop on a desk, and a dream to do things differently. What began as helping out a few local schools has grown into a family business supporting thousands of classrooms and workplaces across the UK.
We’ve had our milestones – moving into our first office, speaking at our first conference, welcoming new team members (and one office cat!). But through it all, our values have stayed the same: look after people, work hard, and keep things personal.
New Beginnings
The starting point of our journey, with a small team and a big vision.

Continued Growth
We continue to look at better ways we can help supply local businesses.
Because Mental Health Matters
Mental health matters. That’s why we’ve partnered with Mind, donating a share of every order to support their life-changing work.
For us, giving back isn’t a tick-box exercise. It’s about doing our bit, showing up for causes that matter, and creating a ripple of positive change with every delivery.”
Join the fight for metal health
Smiths Business Supplies donate a percentage of profits to MIND Charity.
Every order placed with us contributes to a greater cause.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
We love supporting our local community
