GEC, Brown & Polson, Ross Foods, Knorr, Outspan, Cape Fruit, Minerva, The Electricity Council and The Russian Trade Delegation were major clients for whom we dispatched POS but other clients required more bespoke services.

We began a long lasting affiliation with Mirror Group Newspapers, handling their competitions via our PO Box addresses, and on-site promotions - whatever form they took, even a giant teddy bear!

Product and brand launches were regular work for us too, for example The Tea Council for whom we stored and delivered Jimmy Savilles’ magic chair to the studio for filming each week.  The Tea Council actually sponsored the show, hence the built-in “teas-made” in the arm of the chair!

In the late 1970’s we also started to handle our clients’ exhibitions; storing, delivering and constructing stands for Thorn Electrical, Toshiba, CMA (German Foods) and British Leyland.
