Organisational Structure

We are an online retailer and distributor of high performance products in the technology sector, selling a wide range of products from the world’s leading brands, to business and consumers, from our premises in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.

Training Staff

OCUK Ltd will continue to make staff aware of the requirements of the legislation, to ensure we do not buy products from Companies who use slavery and human trafficking in their supply chains.
