Bemrose takes the direct approach
Article Abstract:
Bemrose supplies promotional products and has acquired Nelson Marketing and Letts. The company has developed a strong position in both the US and the UK. Charles Letts is established as a brand which will help Bemrose as a whole. Bemrose's direct marketing business has growth potential from both organic growth and acquisitions. Nelson has low overheads due to selling through a catalog rather than through a sales force. Bemrose' profit is forecast at 25 million pounds sterling for 1997.
