What OFFICE STAR LTD does

Office Star Ltd is a Glasgow-based B2B distributor of office stationery, cleaning supplies, hygiene consumables, and point-of-sale materials, selling through an e-commerce portal and trade accounts to offices, schools, councils, care homes, and retailers across Scotland and the wider UK. Founded in 2019 and registered as a private limited company in Scotland (SC642294), the business operates from a single warehouse at Elderpark Workspace, offering next-day delivery and free shipping on orders over £100. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and trade account enquiries are required for quote-based purchasing.

The product catalogue spans pens, markers and writing supplies, filing and folder products, hygiene and cleaning supplies, catering and POS consumables, paper products, and an ECO GRS-certified recycled line. The company is a reseller of third-party branded goods — including Rapesco staplers and scissors, Nobo whiteboard markers, and Germ-Savvy antibacterial products — and does not develop proprietary technology, maintain a public API, or disclose any platform architecture beyond a standard e-commerce storefront. No AI or machine-learning capabilities are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of distributed products via the company website and trade accounts. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no external investment, and no named management team. The operating footprint is single-site in Glasgow with UK-wide shipping, and the business is UK GDPR compliant with a published privacy policy.
