Our Story

The Make A Difference Team uses the power of business to serve the greater good. We realised some time ago that the office supplies industry was not overly invigorating! Ever since we partnered with B1G1 and totally committed ourselves to making a big difference in our world, our daily work has become so much more meaningful.

Our story alone is proof of what a big difference one company can make. Imagine if we can get thousands of companies to do the same! We hope you join us.

Is our service and pricing any good?
What a great question. We honestly believe we offer the best service and pricing in Australia. This has evolved simply because our team is so motivated to provide outstanding service to enable us to grow our sales and give even more back. Click here to see all 14 reasons to use MAD. The highlights are:

> We won't be beaten on price;
> The most generous rewards program you have ever seen. Guaranteed. You can donate your points to a large range of charities or redeem gift vouchers for restaurants, day spas, handbags and much more;
> Super quick delivery - same day to most areas;
> Minimal backorders. We call you to try and eliminate them where possible;
> Lollies with every order! 

Just how much do we give to Charities?
Our commitment to you is to donate a minimum of 25 times the average Australian business. The last study undertaken by the Australian Government found the average giving for a business in Australia was $2,772. In 2011 we will donate a minimum of $69,305. All our giving is updated monthly on our website.

Together let’s Make A Difference every day by supporting all businesses that are giving generously to great causes.

Who owns Make A Difference Office Supplies?
MAD is owned by Michael Foldi who helped start the business back in the 1991 recession. The fact the business  was started in a recession tells you we truly believe you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

However, our strength is in our "Operations Team". This team of 8 runs the company (we only employ 22 people) and meets every Tuesday at 8am (please feel free to make an appointment to sit in on this meeting) to ensure we continue to improve in every area.

The company is a proud "unbannered" member of Office Brands Limited (formerly Office National Limited). Office Brands is the largest buying group for office supply companies in Australia with purchasing power of over 400 million dollars. This means MAD not only buys at the best prices we also benefit from significantly reduced overheads. We do not have to create our own catalogue or manage the extensive data required to make it easy for you to buy what you need.
