We’re pleased to announce a significant expansion of our product offering with the addition of four of 3M’s most trusted professional brands: Post-it®, Scotch®, Scotch-Brite™ and Command™.

These brands are widely recognised across workplaces for their reliability, performance, and everyday practicality. From improving organisation and collaboration to supporting cleaning, fixing, and finishing tasks, they’re designed to make working environments more efficient and effective.

What this means for you

By bringing these 3M brands into our range, we’re strengthening our ability to support resellers, dealers, and workplace suppliers with even more of the products customers already know and trust.

• Post-it® – Essential tools for collaboration, planning, and communication
• Scotch® – Reliable solutions for sealing, sticking, and repairing
• Scotch-Brite™ – Professional-grade cleaning and surface maintenance products
• Command™ – Damage-free hanging and organisation solutions for offices and workplaces

Whether you’re supplying offices, education, healthcare, or commercial environments, these additions help broaden your offering with globally recognised names that customers actively look for.

We’re proud to support internal growth and development, and Liam’s progression is a great example of this in action.

Liam joined the business as a temporary picker through a recruitment agency back in 2019, quickly proving himself during his probation period and moving into a full-time role within the warehouse as a processor and key member of the team.

Over the following years, Liam built strong operational knowledge across all areas of the warehouse, including goods in and goods out, and played an important role in supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the department.

His commitment and understanding of the business led to a promotion to Assistant Warehouse Manager, where he worked closely alongside Rob, our Warehouse Manager, to help lead the team and manage warehouse operations.

More recently, Liam has taken on an exciting new challenge as Customer Service Manager, moving away from the warehouse to apply his hands-on experience in a customer-focused role.

We’re excited to see what Liam achieves in his new role and look forward to seeing him continue to grow.

This is the culmination of a year-long process in which we evaluated all aspects of our business and implemented sustainable working practices.

Fundamental to this process was the engagement of Sonu Thapa, our placement Environmental Science undergraduate, who has guided all of our departments through the process and instilled a sustainable standard in everything we do.

We are pleased we can now say that, in addition to many other sustainability improvements, all the energy we use comes from 100% renewable sources, and we have removed as much plastic as we can from our packaging, replacing it with recycled or reused alternatives. 

With our ISO 14001 accreditation and the recent launch of our Ecoscore platform – which helps dealers provide detailed sustainability information on tech products- we are delivering on our sustainability goals and minimising our environmental impact.

We’re thrilled to officially launch EcoScore, our groundbreaking new platform designed to transform how businesses and consumers identify and choose sustainable Office Technology.

Developed entirely in-house here at JGBM, EcoScore delivers an unprecedented level of detail in sustainability ratings for office tech. We’ve meticulously measured and rated every single SKU from over 40 leading tech brands, covering more than 40 distinct categories. Behind the scenes, we draw from a colossal database of over 125,000 sustainability attributes, ensuring each product is evaluated against rigorous environmental criteria within its category.

Every product receives a clear and simple EcoScore Leaf accreditation – 1, 2, or 3 leaves – making it easier than ever for customers to understand and compare sustainability performance at a glance.

“The demand for sustainable products is undeniable, but the tools to truly make informed choices have been missing,” says our MD, John George. “EcoScore fills that void. It’s not just credible and comprehensive; it’s also incredibly simple to integrate into any reseller e-commerce platform. No complex feeds or tricky updates – just clear, actionable sustainability insights.”

We’re proud to say that EcoScore is now seamlessly integrated into the PrimaGo webshop, making it even easier for resellers to help customers make better, greener choices.

Two powerful tiers are available:

Tier 1 – Free
Display core EcoScore leaf ratings directly on your PrimaGo product listings, along with a simple explanation of how the score was calculated – all at no cost.

Tier 2 – Try Free for 3 Months
Unlock the full power of EcoScore with:

• A dedicated Sustainability tab on each product page
• Access to detailed product-level sustainability data
• Downloadable EcoScore certificates for quoting and tender support

After the trial, it’s just £14.95/month – and you can cancel anytime.

Backed by major industry brands and built to scale, EcoScore gives you and your customers the tools to make more sustainable decisions while helping your business stand out in a competitive market.

We believe EcoScore will empower our resellers to genuinely differentiate themselves, while giving end-users the confidence to actively choose better, greener tech.
