Communisis secures end-to-end mandate with NATS

Leading marketing services provider Communisis plc, (LSE: CMS) is pleased to announce that it has signed a three year managed service contract with National Air Traffic Services ("NATS"), the leading air traffic control organisation. Under the contract, NATS will draw on skills from both parts of Communisis' broad service offering: Intelligence Driven Communications ("IDC") and Specialist Print Sourcing ("SPS").

Communisis will provide NATS with a managed service comprising print sourcing, fulfilment and distribution services from within its SPS division, as well as creative design and art work capabilities from within its IDC division, and will ensure that the NATS brand is carefully managed and that communications projects are delivered securely, effectively and on time.

Technology will also play an important role, with NATS benefitting from access to an on-line ordering system which is directly linked to Communisis' warehouse, enhancing the speed and efficiency of the campaign process.

Andy Blundell, Chief Executive of Communisis commented:

"This is a significant new client win for us on several fronts. First, it demonstrates the attractiveness of our broad service offering, drawing on expertise from both our IDC and SPS divisions. Second, it represents a further step forward in our efforts to diversify our customer base and take our services into new, exciting verticals. Above all it proves our ability to manage all points in the marketing process, enhancing both the ideas that go in to great campaigns as well as delivering an excellent finished product. I look forward to proving our capabilities to NATS in the months ahead."

Richard Schofield NATS Supply Chain Management, added:

"Communisis has good experience in the industry and should be able to handle the more complex requirements that NATS has.

"After carefully researching the marketplace, we chose Communisis because of its proven ability to deliver creative solutions in a full end to end solution. To be able to source, shape and select all of our collateral in one place from one team is extremely compelling."
