A NORTH-EAST office supplies business has revealed plans to create new jobs.

JG Office Supplies, based in Redcar, wants to take on up to 20 workers to grow its presence in the sector.

The company, founded by entrepreneurs James Lees and Graham Huntley, currently employs four workers and supplies a raft of products from ink cartridges and furniture.

It is split into three divisions; JG Office Supplies, JG Office Interiors and JG janitorial supplies, working with pubs, clubs, restaurants and schools.

Mr Lees, managing director, said: “Office supplies and stationery dealers seem to have been stuck in the dark ages when it has come to technology and have tended to rely on cold calling.

“Although this does work, it also have its flaws, and we are perfectly placed to take our business to the next level and make finding the company online much easier.”
