Sustainability is a choice.
Change Starts at Source.

Here at Source, we embrace sustainability from both angles:

1. Sourcing and promoting sustainable products
2. Choosing environmentally friendly ways to operate our business

From elevating our most sustainable suppliers to implementing energy efficient operations and power sources (EVs, solar, paperless), we are committed to the here and now as well as for future generations.

  • Making sustainability accessible
  • Responsible supply chains
  • Delivering innovative solutions
  • Source is fully independent and not tied to a buying group

Our Business

  • Investing in a diverse workforce
  • Taking action on climate change
  • Supporting charities and local communities
  • Providing a safe, enjoyable and flexible working environment

Our Customers

  • Providing sustainable solutions
  • Expert advice on emerging trends and products
  • Nimble and reactive customer service
  • Best in Class online customer account system! (thanks, Madison)

That's why sustainability is core to how Source Supplies does business and how we'll grow in the future. It's not because being green is fashionable - it's because it makes the utmost business sense. From sourcing products in an ethical and responsible way, to consolidating them in an environmentally efficient operating model, our approach helps us to minimise risk while maximising value.

Our goal is for Source Supplies to be seen as a socially and environmentally responsible organisation that inspires and implements solutions that protect the environment, while being commercially successful for our employees and shareholders.

WHEN IT COMES TO SUSTAINABILITY,
WE'RE COMMITTED TO LEADING THE WAY.

Source is a trusted partner for organisations at national and local level from a variety of sectors involved in cleaning and hygiene.

Simply put, we're constantly aiming to be the most valuable and trusted link in the chain.


Why is our team on the homepage and not buried in the footer under 'About Us'?

Because without our hard working, loyal team, we're nothing. The culture at Source is far from formal but this doesn't detract from the professionalism when it comes to providing our customers with what they need. 

The team work their socks off to ensure our reputation for being helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and friendly is not just upheld, but enhanced whenever possible. 

Dave Piper

Director

The DNA of Source comes from Dave. An absolute can-do attitude towards customer service underpins the business and creates the benchmark for the team.

Dave oversees many facets of the business, from Operations to Finance and together with Ollie, steers the ship strategically through constantly changing times.

Source was a light bulb moment Dave had back in 2005, pairing up with Ollie in 2010, to create a business that has a culture that values staff happiness and customer satisfaction equally.

Dave is still the go-to for many customers and staff alike as there is no one else that lives and breathes Source like Dave!

Former professional and semi professional footballer for 15 years, Dave, like many of his Source colleagues, can often be found on the golf course, somehow still playing to a double figure handicap.

Ollie Rastall

Director

With big ideas of business growth from the outset, Ollie set about developing the customer base from humble beginnings, cold calling from his bedroom whilst Source was operating from a shipping container.

Bringing the fledgling company to the attention of the industry with a disruptive brand and left field marketing was the modus operandi in the early days. Attracting intrigued prospective customers and convincing them to try the overly high bar of service Dave and Ollie set, facilitated year-on-year growth since 2010.

With the business now well established, Ollie is motivated by bringing innovative and sustainable products and solutions to the attention of, well, anyone who'll listen or watch his videos!

Ollie and Dave work closely together on the positioning of Source in the market and ensure the business is optimal in these constantly choppy commercial waters.

When Ollie isn't cycling or being carried round the golf course by Dave, he's out there banging the Source drum.
