London Graphic Centre Mission and Philosophy
At London Graphic Centre we're proud to hold a place in the creative heart of London. Our purpose is to be the supplier of choice for all creative people, helping them to fulfil their potential by offering the most comprehensive range of art and graphic materials available. We provide convenience, accessibility, excellent value and great service - ensuring our customers always turn to us to satisfy their creative needs. Our staff share similar values to our customers: they're passionate, creative people too - with the knowledge and skills to deliver the highest standards of customer care.
How We Practise Our Philosophy
Helping you fulfil your creative potential
Our customers are a fairly diverse bunch - from business professionals to artists to students to hobbyists. One attribute they share however is a desire to make their own creative mark. At London Graphic Centre we help you to fulfil your creative potential. We make sure that when you need our help, we have the products and expertise you need, when you need them. It's why many of you have been with us for years: from your first days at college to today, running some of London's biggest creative enterprises.
What we provide
You've taught us that the quality of materials you use influences the quality of your work and we want to inspire you to produce your best. That's why we offer the most comprehensive range of art and graphic materials available, with over 25,000 different products, sourced from leading suppliers throughout the world. It's a huge range but, more importantly, art and graphic supplies is all we do. We're not bogged down doing other things - we have the time, knowledge and skills to make sure you get the highest quality products at competitive prices. Need something more? We won't refer you to our catalogue; we'll source it for you. So there are no limitations to your creative aspirations.
How we provide it
Wherever you are, you can access London Graphic Centre. Our flagship Covent Garden store is in the heart of London's creative district and our on-line store, London Graphic Centre Live, is just a few clicks away. Our staff share similar values to you: they're passionate, creative individuals too. In fact many of them have an arts-related degree so you can be confident you'll be talking to someone who really speaks your language. They'll always endeavour to give professional, friendly advice, often based on personal experience, as they're likely to have used the products themselves.
Value-for-money
We're always pleased when you tell us that we offer good value-for-money. We work hard with suppliers to keep prices competitive and we regularly check what our competitors are offering. This means that you can always rely on us to deliver excellent service and good value, from people who genuinely understand what you are trying to achieve.
High environmental standards
Its part of our philosophy to adhere to the highest environmental standards. Our Corporate Social Responsibility policy covers environmental, ethical, & social issues and is published on our website and Intranet so everyone can see where we stand. We recycle 70% of our paper and cardboard waste, the prime source of waste in our business. And we were the first company in Covent Garden to arrange collections from the Laundry re-cycling company. We also provide regular work experience placements that help young people build their confidence and skills as they prepare for their future careers.
A Great Track Record
Founded in 1973, the London Graphic Centre has been selling art and graphic materials for over 30 years. Our flagship store in Covent Garden is regarded as the major outlet of its kind in London and we want you to think of it as one of London's landmarks. We've seen a lot of changes in 30 years and been through some too! We believe adapting our business to suit the changing needs of our customers enables us to build lasting relationships with them.
