Q&A: Ross Edmonds of Oasis Empire

 The Managing Director of the print, branding and business supplies company tells us about what makes Oasis Empire different

Oasis Empire is a one-stop shop for everything from printing to promotional merchandise and business supplies. As a growing B2B business, it serves a wide range of sectors and business needs.

It has grown into a major player when it comes to delivering marketing materials and much, much more. With a commitment to making the ordering process as simple as possible, Oasis Empire brings essential products and services together in one, convenient place.

We talked to Managing Director Ross Edmonds. In this Q&A, he explains what Oasis Empire does, how it serves the business community and what makes it stand out from its competitors.

Tell us about Oasis Empire 

“At Oasis Empire, we specialise in commercial litho and digital printing, promotional merchandise and business supplies.

“Based out of our headquarters in Worthing, we are premier printing specialists and are trusted by clients all over the region  and beyond. We’re proud to offer a complete package, from the initial idea right through to final delivery.

“We are obsessive about driving down a customer’s spend, reducing costs and improving efficiency. We help organise and consolidate our customers’ distributed spend by applying our highly sophisticated approach.

“There are few, if any, organisations in the UK better placed to help your business manage these costs.

“We supply three key elements in all our business projects – Responsiveness, Confidence and Reliability.”

How do you differentiate from other Print specialists? 

“We are becoming one of the big players in the restaurant hospitality trade. These businesses purchase a lot of standard litho digital printing (for example they buy menus and flyers) as well as other items such as promotional print, design work or even business supplies such as till rolls, which are often sourced from different suppliers.

“Our aim is to consolidate all those areas and to save time for our customers in simplifying their ordering process. The reason why we are different is because there are not many businesses in the UK that can provide all these services with the expertise we have in-house.”

Tell us about some of the clients/ brands you work with 

“We work with such a varied range of clients with all the different sides to our business. Therefore, we are not industry specific. Some of our clients include Brighton & Hove Albion, the Gordon Ramsey Group, Paul UK, USwitch, Eurosport and the local charity the Sussex Wildlife Trust, and many more.”

As well as print services, what else do you offer?

“As a young man, I started off selling office supplies and this is very much with me today. Naturally, when you provide stationery, this links to printing and design, promotional branded products, packaging and furniture.

“Very recently, we have won some lucrative contracts with storage for solicitors where we are holding wills. Also, we are providing catering equipment which is a new growth area.”

What are the core values of the business? 

“We are passionate about delivering the best quality products, at the best prices and with a range of ordering options. As a B2B business, we understand the complexities of the business to business market and have worked hard to ensure we meet exacting demands of buyers.”

With more and more businesses becoming more eco friendly, can you tell us about your eco range? Why this is important to you at Oasis Empire? 

“We are proud of our eco range, which we are consistently expanding. It is important to us because are helping our clients meet environmental goals and reduce their carbon footprint. We believe in reducing our impact on the environment too and this range enables us to help others take the initiative.

“Of course, our eco range doesn’t just help businesses to reduce their impact on the environment. It also offers our clients exceptional promotional merchandise. Our range includes everything a business needs for effective marketing – from branded stationery, pens and bags to technology, drinkware, technology and umbrellas.”

 What does the future hold for Oasis Empire? 

“Much like most businesses, our future plans have been put on hold due to Brexit. I think it will be business as usual or I hope! Not long to wait now….

“We have ten staff. Our growth over the last ten years or so has been steady and we are ideally placed to get more new staff and keep growing.So, ask me again in three months!”
