Office 2 Go Wins Best New Business Award  

Office 2 Go won the City of Belmont sponsored, Belmont Business Enterprise Centre Award in 2007.

The idea of Office 2 Go started mid 2006 when owner Michael D’Andrea could see a niche market in supplying office furniture fitouts…faster!  In January 2007 Michael opened his 300sqm showroom and warehouse in Belmont. 

Starting as a sole operator, within 9 months Michael now has two employees, is on target to turnover $500,000 in his first year of trading and has the vision of opening a new showroom north of the river and eventually franchising his idea. With Michael’s company motto of quality furniture fit-outs faster, it is sure to be a recipe for success.

Locating the Office 2 Go business in Belmont has been hugely successful for Michael D’Andrea, Managing Director or Office 2 Go.

According to his business plan, he expected it would take two years before seeing a profit. They have now scrapped the previous business plan as they had positive growth after only eight months of being established.

With most of Office 2 Go’s clients from the Perth CBD, the cental location of Belmont has been important.  Belmont will be established as the only premises with a warehouse to distribute to future Office 2 Go showrooms across Australia.
