A Bit About Us:

At AO, we want to make sure our customers are happy. When they have a smile on their face, we know we've done a good job. It's at the heart of everything we do, and it's why our logo is always smiling.

We're passionate, relentless, and full of beans, determined to make a difference and change the world for the better. From massive changes to tiny tweaks - making a difference is what keeps us driven. It started at a pub in Bolton with a GBP1 bet and a belief that things could be done better!
