Pindar scoops “Supplier of the Year” award at ECMOD 2005

News Release
12 December 2005 

Pindar Graphics has won the Supplier of the Year award for our work with Welconstruct at this year’s ECMOD’s award dinner. The award was collected by sales director, Gary Utton.

The European Catalogue & Mail Order Days is the largest and the most influential exhibition and conference of its kind concluding with a prestigious awards evening. The ceremony, which recognises excellence within a highly competitive catalogue, e-commerce and multi channel sector, was hosted by comedienne Sandy Toksvig.

Pindar and Welconstruct have worked closely together for three years with Pindar being the principal supplier for Welconstruct’s catalogue production. Pindar has a range of specialist services including digital product photography, online image approvals and automatic entries to a content management database, all of which have been finely tuned for cataloguers needs. Pindar has provided a fully integrated catalogue management system to streamline Welconstruct’s catalogue and the result has been dramatic.

Peter Steele, Head of Marketing at Welconstruct Distribution said: "Over the past three years, our partnership with Pindar has had a dramatic effect on the development of our product marketing strategies.  Their shared understanding has streamlined our workflow to enable increased page capacity with greater accuracy of product information across all of our catalogues and online pages.  Working with Pindar will continue to leverage our capacity to stand apart as a leader in our chosen markets."

ECMOD is an important show for Pindar Graphics as it brings together the top names in the industry; an absolute must for anybody involved in the world of catalogues. Our new and improved exhibition stand was decorated with the latest brand colours, green and black. Pindar Graphics certainly made a huge impact drawing an impressive crowd of potential customers.

Helen Kent, Communications Executive at Pindar Graphics said  “The theme was ‘dare to be different’, which drew a parallel between Pindar sponsored Anna Hemmings and her attitude towards her career as World Kayaking Champion, and the way that Pindar Graphics approaches its business strategy. We dare to be different by offering a full bespoke service to our customers and having the quality customer service to reinforce it and ensure that people will want to work with Pindar again and again, and that’s something to shout about!”

Pindar’s stand had a specially designed seminar area where Pindar-sponsored Anna Hemmings gave presentations throughout the day, signing autographs and answering questions. All Pindar customers were invited to visit our stand and to meet the Pindar team all part of the relationship building process.
