Member's testimonials

Here's what our members have to say on our membership benefits

"Cotswold Outdoor currently has 56 store stretching across the UK. Our stationery requirements are varied, from the standard tea, coffee and paper to the random special orders whereby Braley staff are always very helpful in advice and guidance to find the best product suitable. We have always found all Braley staff to be polite, friendly and more importantly for our stores, very approachable.

The new website is very easy to use and gives the option to manage and control store spending. Master contract lists help with fixing costs and standardising products across the company. Being able to create your own lists provides for quick and easy ordering and orders are reliably delivered the next working day by a nationwide courier company and returning items is pretty simple too.

I would not hesitate to recommend to other OIA members to use Braley for your stationery requirements. Their knowledge and professionalism is outstanding." Nicola Speaight, Stationery co-ordinator for Cotswold Outdoor

 "I just got off the phone with a nice gentleman called Rob from the Business Support Helpline. He gave me clear and detailed advice, backing this up with strong arguments when I questioned his advice further. Top notch service! Will definitely use it again!"  Donald Harvey, HR Officer, Edinburgh Leisure

 "Thanks to the OIA member service it is reassuring to know there is
someone on the end of a phone to speak to with regard to free practical legal advice on industry and company issues. Fantastic".  Julian Peppit, Buffwear Ltd

 "We have been very pleased with the level of expertise, quality of the advice, ease of access to the right person and the enthusiastic manner of the Croner service team. Just what we were looking for and it provides excellent value for money from our membership". Corry Taylor, Bradshaw Taylor

"The Croner service you get through the OIA is great, you are able to pose any question you have about a legal issue and they always get back to you with a clear answer. Not a substitute for your solicitor, but so much more effective in helping you decide your next move." Stephen Bailey, Oswald Bailey

“With the excellent rates that the OIA have negotiated with Barclaycard Services I save a far greater amount on credit card charges than it costs me to be a member. It's a no brainer!” Simon Neatham, Managing Director, Urbanrock Ltd.

Michelle Dickinson, Head of Marketing, Burton McCall on posting job vacancies in the careers section of the website: "We recently used this service, receiving an outstanding response from applicants within the Outdoor Industry. Would totally recommend this recruitment portal".

"We have only ordered  one paper cutter from Braleys Business Systems at the moment for one of our branches to try, which was hand delivered, excellent service, we are now considering ordering a further 17. We will be saving about £5.70 per unit". Susan Pullman, Oswald Bailey
