Over the years I created several brochures which I am sure were instrumental in winning us work. The general attitude amongst the staff was that they were a total waste of effort.
The final brochure produced in 2006 was by way of a final hurrah – I was going to produce the ultimate brochure and we pretty much succeeded – 75 pages hardback, perfect bound with a silver blocked cover and spot UV. It was professionally photographed and professionally copywritten. I destroyed the one remaining copy to put the scan together for this website. A word of warning – to give a feel of the true quality of the brochures – the files are quite big. The 2006 brochure, even heavily compressed is 10 meg.
The Newsletter ran for 17 years, typically aiming at 4 issues a year. Some years we did more and some less. They are a tribute to the hard work so many of our people put into making the company a success – until it wasn’t. In the entire run we have 2 missing.
