Fremantle couple call it a day after 36 years.

 

After 36 years in the office products industry, including 22 years as a member of the Office Choice group, Robin and Bev Braham, owners of Port Stationery in Fremantle WA, have announced their retirement. 

 

The Brahams entered the industry in 1985 when they purchased The Stationery Port, which at the time was an agent for Olivetti typewriters. 

 

The business sold and serviced new and second-hand electric and manual typewriters and office supplies was secondary. 

 

As technology evolved, the business started to sell more stationery in addition to machines and subsequently changed its name to Port Stationery, joining the Office Choice group in 1999.

 

The business will cease trading at the end of August. 

 

The Brahams said they are looking forward to their next ventures, one of which includes developing the site in which the business is located and spending more time with their grandchildren.  

 

Office Choice CEO Brad O’Brien said: “Office Choice are proud to have been a part of the Port Stationery legacy in Fremantle and supported the successful business Robin and Bev have created over many years. Whilst we say goodbye to much loved members from our group, we are delighted to see them implement their “next stage” plan and we wish Robin and Bev all the best for the future. We welcome the opportunity to invite them to attend the next Office Choice event in 2022 to be recognised for their contribution to the group.”
