About Ligaca

Since 2009, Ligaca has been supplying London businesses with office consumables. We started with a single delivery van and a warehouse in East London, serving 12 local companies.

Our Story

The company was founded by two logistics professionals who noticed that small and medium businesses struggled with inconsistent supply chains. Late deliveries, incorrect orders, and inflated prices were common problems.

We established relationships with manufacturers across Europe and built a 2,500 square metre warehouse near Stratford. By 2012, we were serving 180 clients across Greater London. Our inventory expanded from basic stationery to include printer supplies, breakroom essentials, and cleaning products.

In 2015, we invested in a digital ordering system that reduced processing time by 60%. Clients could now track their orders in real-time and access their purchase history. This system now handles over 4,000 orders monthly.

Our Mission

We provide reliable office supply delivery to businesses across London. Our goal is straightforward: maintain stock availability, deliver on schedule, and keep pricing transparent. We process same-day orders placed before 2 PM and offer next-day delivery as standard.

Every quarter, we review our supplier network to ensure product quality and competitive pricing. We stock 3,200 items from 47 manufacturers, with 95% availability rate on commonly ordered products.
