Mark Allan joins Don Ruffles as general manager

Mark Allan joins Don Ruffles from his role as senior business development manager at Nemo Office Club

Michael Knight, MD at Don Ruffles explains “This is a fantastic opportunity for the business as Mark has spent more than 30 years in the office supplies industry, with around 20 of them supporting Ruffles in previous roles, so knows our workings intimately already.  Like us, Mark has a passion for the online world and sees opportunities to better leverage our expanding digital channels, allowing Tracey and I to begin stepping back more meaningfully from the day-to-day operations over the next few years”

Mark Allan added “Having worked for wholesaler, manufactures and recently a dealer group, I am really excited to be joining the highly experienced team at Don Ruffles and helping build on the amazing success they have enjoyed over many years. There are so many opportunities to expand our offering and continuing to work with the great teams at both Nemo Office Club and Office Power. I am really looking forward to working with both existing and new suppliers, with the potential now to range and manage over 1,000,000 Sku’s through our unique product information management system “

Don Ruffles is an industry-leading online business with six niche trading sites specialising in providing customers with specialist advice and unbeatable prices. As the office supplies industry broadens, Don Ruffles continue to lead the way in bringing new categories to market, the appointment of Mark will enable them to take those categories to a wider audience.
