A NEW firm specialising in office supplies is hoping the economic downturn will send more businesses their way.

Panther Office Products Ltd was set up in May by four experienced practitioners who have worked together in the past. Directors Anna Davies and Vicky Langlois have been joined by Rachel Forster and Tony Boyd, working from refurbished premises at Sion Hall Farm, Longueville.

‘We’ve all worked for companies in Jersey, in this industry, and there will always be a need for office furniture and consumables,’ said Miss Davies.

The company sells everything any office manager is likely to need, from catering equipment, uniforms and corporate gifts, first-aid kits and safety signs, down to that most essential office kettle. They also offer full office fit-outs and a furniture planning service.
