Officeworks celebrates anniversary milestone

Team members Deb Eden and Vina Pinto help celebrate Officeworks 30th anniversary

Australia’s leading retailer of technology, stationery, furniture, art supplies, learning and development resources, Officeworks, celebrated its 30th birthday in June and a community day was held at the West Gosford store to mark the occasion.

Everyone was welcome to join the celebrations with an array of free family activities including face painting, arts and crafts and more.

“We had a wonderful time celebrating our 30th birthday and were thrilled to see so many members of our community come and celebrate with us,” Officeworks West Gosford Store Business Manager Rob Gill said. 

“Officeworks West Gosford opened 25 years ago and since then we’ve been a cornerstone of the community with numerous memorable moments and loyal customers. 

“Our store’s journey has been marked by a dedicated team, many of whom have been with the business for many years and contributed significantly to its success.

“We are so proud to be part of the Officeworks community and look forward to the next 30 years.” 

The first Officeworks store opened in Richmond on June 16, 1994, starting with 4,500 products available, and now, 30 years on, Officeworks has grown to become a nationwide household name with 171 stores nationally and more than 40,000 products across in-store and online.

“Celebrating 30 years is testament to the hard work and dedication of our incredible team members, the loyalty of our customers, and the strong relationships with our partners,” Officeworks Managing Director Sarah Hunter said.

“We are immensely thankful to everyone who has been part of this journey.

“Families remain at the heart of Officeworks, relying on us for solutions that help their households and businesses operate day-to-day.

“Over the past 30 years, we have evolved our ranges to better meet the changing needs of customers, including the acceleration of digitisation and the expanding business-to-business landscape and I am incredibly excited of what’s to come.

“We have a strong future as we continually invest in innovation, expand our offerings, and most importantly, remain committed to inspiring our customers to work, learn, create and connect, and in turn, help make bigger things happen, together.”
