Innovation is the lifeblood of any industry. Continually finding it can be difficult, especially in mature sectors such as the business supplies space. It also comes in many guises: an engaging marketing campaign that draws in new audiences; products which tap into trends; companies persistently thinking outside the box to deliver excellence to their customers; and individuals who excel at pushing this industry forward in an inclusive and progressive manner.
For the 24th time, a group of seasoned senior executives from all channels came together to debate who has done any of the above and deserves a place on the European Office Products Awards’ (EOPA) shortlist and, ultimately, at the winners’ table.
A total of 13 awards are up for grabs, with two new categories having been added to the mix. Best Workplace recognises organisations which go the extra mile to create a comprehensively positive work experience. Online Reseller of the Year, meanwhile, is open to any operator of business supplies that primarily operates online.
All winners will be revealed during a special celebration dinner on 11 March 2025 – the second night of OPI Partnership at the Hotel Okura in Amsterdam.
