Scotia Office Machines Ltd

Scotia UK opened its first office in Glasgow in 1963 selling accounting machines under the name of Scotia office Machines Limited. Throughout the 60's and 70's, Scotia's bread and butter was the supply of accounting machines and everyday stationery products.
Scotia UK plc
By the end of the 70's the firm had begun its move into technology based hardware products such as dictation equipment and overhead projectors.
The 80's saw the company focus increasingly switch onto visual presentation solutions - installing equipment in a number of schools, universities and large boardrooms. By 1990 the company name was changed to Scotia UK plc and a push was made south of the border with the opening of a distribution centre in Gateshead and an additional office in Suffolk.
The company has always held fast to a belief in building solid relationships with both suppliers and customers. The client base goes from strength to strength and with many notable and innovative projects. Not only with a strong client base the Scotia supplier list reads like a who's who within the technology manufacturing industry.
Scotia UK has faced many challenges over the years but has never been content to take the foot off the pedal - it will continue to develop its quest for cutting edge products and to offer outstanding consultancy solutions.
