Our friends at Hive Cleaning have created an amazing project with over 6 acres of meadowland in Devon which they have appropriately named ‘Hive Wood’.
Their aim over the next 15 years, through this project is to help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, enhance the biodiversity for flora and fauna and return the wood back to traditional broadleaf forest.
Louis Beaumont, Hive Cleaning’s Manging Director, brought together an energetic team consisting of their family members, staff and clients as well as our Manging Director, Marc who was only too happy to get stuck in with the team helping to plant trees to support this fantastic project.
Our friends at Hive Cleaning are a B Corp certified, ethical office cleaning company who are committed to making a positive impact on the environment and were delighted to support them in this worthy initiative.
At Futures Supplies we believe that volunteering is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It’s good for the planet too especially when it involves supporting our client and planting trees!!
Futures Supplies are delighted to be supporting the Royal National Institute of Blind People through its regular donations of used postage stamps.
The RNIB are committed to their fundraising appeals to raise awareness of sight loss, demonstrating the positive impact of donations and by highlighting where more support is needed.
The generosity of any donations helps enable the RNIB to continue to support those with sight loss and break down barriers for the increasing number of people with sight loss now and in years to come.
We believe that small actions can make a big difference so help us make the world a better place for people with sight loss by visiting the RNIB website to see how you can help too.

As we mark our 29th year in business, we at Futures Supplies take a moment to reflect on the milestones and achievements that have shaped our journey. What began as a humble family business in Mandie’s garage back in 1995 has evolved into a leading independent distributor of washroom, cleaning, janitorial, and associated products, catering mainly to the B2B sector.
In 2005, after a decade of growth and dedication, we made a pivotal decision to invest in our future by purchasing our own self-contained, purpose-built offices and warehouse in South London. This move not only solidified our commitment but also provided us with the infrastructure to better serve our expanding customer base.
Quality has always been at the forefront of our operations. In 1997, we achieved independent certification for our Quality Management System to British Standard ISO 9001, ensuring our customers’ confidence in the quality of our goods and services.
The transition of leadership within the company has been seamless, with Marc, our Managing Director, stepping into the role in 2018 following his mother Mandie’s retirement. With over two decades of experience within the business, Marc brings a wealth of knowledge and a vision to drive our company forward.
Our journey hasn’t been without its challenges. From surviving the Millennium Bug to overcoming a substantial fire in 2000, we have persevered, never faltering in our commitment to our customers. In fact, it was amidst these challenges that we achieved our first £1 million in annual sales in the same year as the fire.
But it’s not just about business success; it’s also about making a positive impact on our community and the environment. Since 2004, we’ve been dedicated to improving our environmental, social, and economic footprint. From providing work experience placements to disadvantaged youth to pioneering the use of eco-friendly products and sustainable business practices, we’ve remained steadfast in our commitment to sustainability.
Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. Over the years, we’ve been honored with numerous awards, including the prestigious Green Mark accreditation, recognizing our dedication to corporate social responsibility and sustainability.
Innovation has always been at the heart of what we do. From being early adopters of social media to introducing a complete environmental product range, we’ve continuously embraced new technologies and practices to better serve our customers and the planet.
As we look ahead to the future, we remain committed to our core values of service, quality, value, reliability, and sustainability. Our refreshed logo, unveiled in 2024, symbolizes our evolution, growth, and optimism for the future—a future where we continue to shine bright as a beacon of excellence in our industry.
We are immensely proud of our team, whose dedication and hard work have been instrumental in our success. From Andy, our Office Manager, with over 22 years of service, to Ian, our driver, and Dave, our Warehouse Manager, each member of our team plays a vital role in our journey.
And to our customers, suppliers, and partners, we extend our sincerest gratitude for your continued support and trust. Together, we look forward to shaping a future where sustainability, innovation, and excellence go hand in hand. Here’s to the next 29 years and beyond!
