County Industrial Supplies Case Study“OGL’s pre-sale process was very thorough and comprehensive. The process was tailored to each member of staff and involving everyone was key to the purchasing decision as it gave confidence of the commitment at an early stage. Even as customers, we had not heard anything from EDP for 2 years and we were very impressed with the level of service from OGL.”
