As 2022 draws to a close, the team at Comax UK are reflecting on 30 years of trading!
Founded in Dorset in 1992 Comax UK, expert supplier of commercial catering, janitorial and care products, is celebrating 30 years of success delivering to Hampshire, Dorset and surrounding counties.
Over the last 30 years Comax has grown to become one of the largest wholesalers in the South central region, trusted by customers across a broad range of industries, including hospitality, commercial cleaning, care and schools.
Comax was born from years of combined experiences, journeys, relationships and shared knowledge and they continue to put staff, customers and suppliers at the heart of the business today. By maintaining strong supplier relationships and investing in staff members, Comax ensures they’re able to provide market leading quality products, innovation and support to all their customers.
The first home of Comax (then known as Coffeeman Disposables) was a small industrial unit in Boscombe, delivering to the local area in their own van, the operation soon grew and extra warehouse space was acquired in Bournemouth. Surrounding themselves with an ever growing team of enthusiastic people the business grew year on year providing next day delivery to Hampshire & Dorset across a rapidly expanding range of catering & janitorial products.
After further expansion the business moved to Nuffield industrial estate in Poole, eventually moving again to their current home in Ringwood in April 2017. Comax now boasts over 70 full time members of staff, 24 delivery vans and a product portfolio of over 30,000 lines.
As part of their 30th anniversary celebrations Comax is excited to reveal their brand new showroom experience!
Introducing The Juniper Tree, a new purpose built customer consultation area! The bespoke bar and luxurious seating area has been developed to provide the perfect space for their experienced sales team to help customers immerse themselves in the impressive showroom space, featuring extraordinary ranges of all the latest tableware, glassware, sustainable packaging and cleaning supplies.
Juniper Trees are a fabled symbol of a great journey, having taken many twists and turns but remaining true to yourself, never compromising your integrity. Juniper trees are renowned for their strength and capacity to survive in harsh climates. A great reflection of the founding principles of Comax and the inspirational team both past and present.
Graham Moakes, managing director comments “Comax is 30 and stronger than ever!! This is a huge achievement and we wouldn’t be where we are today without our brilliant suppliers, customers and team members! At milestones like these, it’s amazing to look back at where we have come from, but so important to keep looking ahead. Our vision for the future is to continue building on our great customer offer but also to keep sustainability at the forefront of our goals, we want to ensure we’re making the right choices for the future not just for now. We are committed to Net Zero by 2050 and we’ll be working hard to deliver sustainable solutions for our customers.”
