What is OfficeCentral?

Essentially two things;

a) a website that centralises supplier and business information for office managers and employees making it easy to find what they want quickly.
b) a focused business directory dedicated to promoting business only in a city-wide and surrounding area based on the city's postcode.

In addition we have a business forum, On The Board, which is a place for discussion, problem solving, useful information exchange, sharing good and bad experiences and more. This has a national reach and as other OfficeCentral cities are developed they too will link to our On The Board forum encouraging a larger interactive user base.

Why use OC?

OfficeCentral Cardiff is focused on your city so you find what you want in business FAST! No need to wade through a glut of useless untargeted links to irrelevant companies.

And our directory is different! Why? Because every 24hrs the contents is randomly shuffled so it becomes non-alphabetical! It means that a company called Zebra has as much chance appearing at the top as one called Aardvark. Premium listings still appear above free listings but they too are shuffled to make things fair. But there may be times when an alphabetical listing is required so we have included a button that does just that. Just click and you have the listings alphabetised!

How do I become part of OfficeCentral?

Anyone can browse OC even though it is intended for commercial use. It is geared toward the office sector so businesses can register. It is free and very quick to complete.
