As long standing members of NEMO, a leading Office Stationery group, we are pleased to announce that a new Electronic Stationery Catalogue will come on stream in 2011. See Nemo announcement below.
Nemo Group launches Electronic Catalogue
Nemo Group, one of the UK's leading Purchasing & Marketing Groups, today announced the launch of its new electronic catalogue for 2011. Whilst the Nemo Group have had its Buying Direct Quarterly Mailer in Electronic format for over a year, the 2011 catalogue offers an extensive range of over 6,000 products under various categories. It is available in printas well as through many of its partnerships on fully integrated transactional websites.
The convenience of being able to access catalogues on-line and with the option to download the full publication and to view it remotely provides a truly environmentally friendly solution. Links can be copied and forwarded between users allowing them to share and exchange thoughts and ideas before finalising a purchasing decision.
A comprehensive search facility makes it easier to find products by keywords than is possible using a paper catalogue.
Bookmarks allow users to add comments for future reference.
"With the internet becoming a more integral part of our lives, individuals are spending greater time online to conduct various activities," added Derek Bamford, CEO. "This is evident also in members growing e-commerce business, which is witnessing a healthy growth with most of our members. More and more customers now visit our member's websites to buy online, which inspired us to launch this Catalogue. It not only enables members to build stronger bonds with their customers but also provide an easy way for the new generation of customers using the electronic catalogue along with the printed one."
Kath Slattery Business Development Manager commented "While we are seeing increased activity with members online ecommerce platform, the demand for our paper catalogues still remains. The paper and digital catalogue selection play a complementary role where customers who refer to the paper catalogue then proceed online to either look for more information or even place orders online."

We are pleased to advise that Colvin Limited has moved to:
14 Gatwick Metro Centre
Balcombe Road, Horley
Surrey RH6 9GA
Our contact telephone, fax number and email addresses will remain unchanged.
Having completed a 25 year lease at our Croydon address the Directors of Colvin decided it was opportune to purchase a property. After an extensive search for a property to suit our customers and staff the property in Horley was selected.
Happily the move was completed with minimal disruption. Staff morale is high and most importantly our customers have experienced no change in the excellent level of service we provide.
COLVIN ACTIVELY SEEKING ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES
Colvin's Managing Director Colin Streets says "during these difficult trading times Colvin intends to achieve growth organically AND by way acquisitions/mergers. We are actively seeking businesses in the Stationery and Print industries who are either looking to an exit strategy or substantially reduce their overhead."
