 PROFILE
Not quite as old-fashioned as the name suggests, Quill is a mail-order distributor of office products to more than 750,000 medium-sized businesses, as well as schools, associations, hotels, and health care and legal offices in the UK and US. To compete with office supply superstores, Quill markets some 20,000 Quill-brand and other brand-name products (from janitorial supplies and paper to furniture and software) at up to 84% off list prices. It sells its products through specialized catalogs, by phone, and on its Web site. The company also offers a variety of printing services. Former CEO Jack Miller founded Quill in his father's poultry shop in 1956; Quill is now a subsidiary of office products giant Staples.
