A dead ringer for Ricky Gervais made a surprise visit to Croydon PC World to launch their new Office Depot outlet today.

The David Brent lookalike browsed the aisles before launching into a rendition of the character's famous dance routine from the comedy series.

Office Depot has entered a trial partnership with Dixons Retail to bring the company's products to customers in five Currys and PC World stores in the coming months.

John O’Keefe, commercial director at Office Depot UK and Ireland, said: "We are very excited about teaming up with Dixons Retail to launch this venture.

"This is the first time we will be offering the Office Depot brand to retail consumers and is unlike anything we have ever done before.

"With the many financial challenges faced by our customers, we believe our partnership with Dixons will provide some great value for money products and solutions to their office supplies needs."
