Our Credentials
“I understand through Dan Skelchy that you have met BPD Group lately to discuss your own print solutions.
On my behalf, BPD Group have been my chosen partner for nearly 5 years and I will always happily provide a reference on their behalf as sourcing the right print partners will be as key to you as it is myself I’m sure.
As a business, I look after the Marketing for 1,250 retail stores (Martin’s & McColl’s), an industry that is extremely re-active to product and pricing strategies that require instant implementation and professionalism into stores throughout the UK.
When I joined Martin McColl I ‘inherited’ a print partnership with a large London company which wasn’t right for our business. Though they were very established, the detail in the projects (not just the smaller campaigns) caused frustrations to say the least.
As such I undertook a tender process that evaluated six print organisations. Naturally cost was important, but more so from a personal objective was the everyday support to my small Marketing Team, detail, consistency, knowing that the small (one off store briefs) were equally as important to me as the national campaigns.
BPD Group not only promised this but have consistently delivered to all of these objectives. Though my print budget of £1.1 million p/a may seem generous, I can promise you that as a business every penny of Marketing is stretched to maximise budget usage and with BPD Group partnership this has certainly been achievable.
But outside of the print itself, the behind the scenes skills that they offer are equally as important to them as a business. Design, new ideas, distribution, account management and the overall confidence that once a job has been briefed … ‘I don’t need to chase them feeling’ breeds confidence throughout their structure.
I am also pleased to confirm that further to BPD Group original contract drawing to its conclusion, that within the last couple on months I have undertaken a new tender process to which BPD Group have been awarded a further 3 year contract extension.
I hope that this gives you some reassurance towards the partnership I have found, and I will happily give more background should you require this.
Justin Denyer, Marketing Manager at McColls
“Have been in a partnership with BPD Group for a couple of months where they started with us in our busiest periods working on Halloween and then Christmas. These two campaigns were delivered with no problems. We can be a very demanding business with last minute requests coming through all the time but BPD Group have provided us with quick turnarounds and been very responsive with all our requests. They deliver point of sale to approx 500 stores for us including Northern Ireland. There is still a lot to learn on both sides but BPD Group are very proactive and happy to suggest easier ways of working or any cost effective route we can take without compromising quality”
Sandip Powar, Marketing Coordinator at Poundland
“I have been using BPD Group for just over a year and would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone. Over this period they have never failed to deliver on any projects placed with them. They are a very flexible, innovative and easy to deal with company with excellent customer service. I always feel that we are working in partnership to reach a common goal rather than the usual supplier/customer relationship. On top of all of this, I have found their costing to be extremely competitive against other similar companies in the market”
Steven Rawlinson, Studio Manager at Dobbies
“Now that the proverbial dust has settled on this week’s catalogue launch, I took some time to look at some of the posters properly and take in the shiny new ones on display in store. They look excellent, nice detail, nice tones, nice cuts. Thank you so much for helping make this seasonal switch-over a success - and for jumping on those missing bits and being available for all my queries. Please pass on my thanks to the team for a quality end product”
Dylan Hollick, Product Marketing Executive at Machine Mart
“The product and service received from BPD Group is excellent. Their costs remain competitive whilst always ensuring deadlines are met and the work is completed to the highest standard”
Helen Boyd, Marketing Executive at SCS
“We have been clients of the BPD group for well over ten years and in that time we have found them competitive on price, professional, friendly, and ultimately they provide a top-quality product. Enquiries and quotes are dealt with extremely quickly and we have built up a good relationship with Philip Taylor who oversees our account. I’d be happy to recommend BPD to any potential suitors”
Melvin Boyd, Retail Operations at Director at Clintons
