A delivery service with a difference

Our unique infrastructure of local stocking points across the UK enables us to fulfil your orders in the most energy and time efficient way. This is due to our much shorter, carefully planned, van routes. By being near to you we can deliver more quickly, whilst also reducing the volume of traffic on the road.

Our local stocking points and customer service centres ensure an excellent, personal service and help to minimise the effect your business has on the environment.

Through an overhaul of our logistics, we’ve reduced our CO2 emissions by 510 tonnes.

OfficeTeam Local

OfficeTeam is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint. We are constantly seeking to find new ways to reduce our impact on the environment and have introduced a number of electric vans into our delivery fleet in major cities in addition to a logistics fleet compromising of 220 Euro IV compliant and Euro V low emissions, energy efficient vehicles.

By doing this, we reduced our carbon emissions by

260 tonnes of CO2.

That’s enough energy to heat your house for around 43 years!

As new automotive technology develops to help reduce carbon emissions, we will look to introduce them into our fleet, currently we strive to use alternative ‘green’ fuels like electricity, LPG and Bio-fuels.

We have significantly reduced our impact on the

environment – let us help you to reduce yours.
