Western Office Equipment

Western Office Equipment (FRN 972288) is not directly authorised. It is an appointed representative acting under the responsibility of a directly authorised principal firm.

An introducer appointed representative can only pass your details to its principal firm. It cannot recommend products, give financial advice, or arrange deals on its own. Western Office Equipment (FRN 972288) introduces customers to Ignition Credit Plc (FRN 679018). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Western Office Equipment. Example: if Western Office Equipment refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Western Office Equipment itself. Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.

The FCA register lists the phone number 01208 72042 and the website westernofficeequipment.co.uk for Western Office Equipment. If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further.

Western Office Equipment is a genuine FCA-listed firm, and the FCA has published no warnings about fake versions of it. Scammers do copy real firms, though, so check that any contact details you were given match the ones on the register.

Protection works through Ignition Credit PLC, the principal firm responsible for Western Office Equipment's regulated activity. FSCS cover and the Financial Ombudsman Service apply as they would to the principal.
