About Accolade

Discover the Vision and Values Motivating People at Accolade

Accolade was started with the proceeds of a bank robbery! In 1976, our founder chased and captured an armed bank robber. Wisely he then invested half of his reward money in office products for resale. With the other half he bought an engagement ring for his now wife of nearly 50 years. A much better investment!

What's Special About Accolade?

It's all about you... our customer.

Everything that's special about Accolade is due to you. Choosing Accolade as your supplier enables me to employ good Staff. Implementing award-winning employment policies helps me retain them long-term... but that too needs your support. Hopefully we'll earn that, by caring for every order you place. Our motto has always been:- Superb Service... since 1980.

Family Comes First at Accolade

In 20??, having only recently started with Accolade, illness within my family necessitated an extended period of compassionate leave. Several years later, similar circumstances arose and, once again, Accolade provided all necessary support. This past decade, I've witnessed other Staff benefit from our understanding that family come first... always!

- Donna B, Company Secretary

Weathering Storms... throughout the Decades

After the 2008 financial crash, as our Office Supplies Trade adjusted to a diminished marketplace, Accolade's first webstore, launched in 2007, proved to be a God-send. Later, during Covid, Staff illness necessitated moving to an 'off-the-shelf' webstore whilst many of us were working.from home. Hopefully, this new site (our 5th) WON'T be the precursor to another crash or crisis!

- Bill G, General Manager (retired)

Flexible Working for Friendly Customer Care

My previous employer set unachievable targets, monitored my calls and latterly installed cameras to watch my every move. Contrast that with Accolade where I set my own targets and choose if, when & who to call. So... no 'pester pressure' from me! You can always order online or I'm usually available for a chat whenever you choose.

- Gayle K, National Sales Manager
