Lyreco Goodness is all about people
We want to ensure the wellbeing and happiness of the people at every stage of the supply chain.
And when it comes to customer care, we don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Our account base is divided into specific sectors so that your account gets the attention and expertise it deserves.
We want your business to succeed, which is why we provide tailored solutions for all your wants and needs.
Meet our teams
Account Managers
Our account management team is over 400-strong and covers the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland, ensuring you receive dedicated support to look after your every need.
Support team
People are at the heart of our business and we make sure that our dedicated account managers receive all the support they need to provide our customers with expert advice, assistance and solutions.
Local care
It doesn’t often happen, but if you do have an issue with your account, we know you’d rather talk with someone that understands you and your business. That’s why we have three local customer care hubs in our head office in Telford, Airdrie and Dublin.
Local drivers
It’s always nice to see a familiar face. That’s why we employ our own local delivery drivers who work their own individual routes so your parcel will always be delivered by the same driver. All of our drivers are DBS checked and fully qualified.
mental health and wellbeing
1 in 4 adults will suffer from a mental health disorder in any given year. Through Lyreco Goodness, we want to look after our people and support them with any challenges they may have.
How we’re doing
