Staples sponsors Gay Star Business to promote LGBTI work diversity

Written by gaytourism

Staples Solutions, one of the UK’s leading providers of office supplies, is now sponsoring Gay Star Business.

Gay Star Business is the leading platform keeping you up to date with how businesses around the world are interacting with LGBTI people and issues. Gay Star Business is thrilled to have Staples on board as its lead business sponsor.

Staples Solutions is so much more than an office supplier. It prides itself on its customer centric approach, offering its customers genuine business solutions. That is why Staples delivers extensive help and expertise, as well as more choice and more value for money. As the strapline states: ‘At Staples Solutions, we work hard every day to help you make more happen.’

Staples moved out of retail in 2017, and now provides business solutions for the B2B sector through the online shop and an online webshop. These platforms cater for the needs of businesses with five to 5,000 employees and beyond.

Online, customers will find a host of popular products, including some of the industry’s leading brands, as well as ranges and solutions across furniture, print, facilities and technology. Of course, Staples also offer own brand products for when value really matters. The result is customers have a broad range to choose from.

Staples embraces the modern workplace

Robert Baldrey is Managing Director for Staples Solutions UK and Ireland. He explained why Staples wants to support LGBTI people in their workplaces and careers:

‘Staples Solutions is so much more than an office supplies and stationery provider. We are here to help you achieve your goals, whatever your background, aspirations and business challenges.

‘Whether you work at home or in a high-rise building in the city, our single focus is to ensure that you have everything you need to turn your opportunities into realities.

‘It’s important that the LGBTI community have the choices and opportunities available to all. And
here at Staples, we’re committed to championing diversity. We want to support LGBTI people through business opportunities.’

Scott Nunn, co-founder of Gay Star News, said: ‘Staples Solutions is more than a stationery provider. Staples offers customers their expertise to make workplaces run more effectively.

‘In particular, we love their online Knowledge Centre, where they offer advice to make your office healthier, happier and more productive.

‘So it seems natural they want to embrace the diversity of the modern workplace. And Gay Star Business is a great way to promote that message. We are delighted to welcome them as a partner.’
