“Direct Distribution have been a huge help to us over the past year. We’ve been mobilising Covid testing sites at short notice and the team have been responsive to our needs every time, providing a great service with targeted door-drops of essential information to local communities. Exit surveys at the sites have consistently shown that door-drop leaflets get the message across very effectively and the recall rates are very impressive.”

“At the SEC Campus we have 1.9 million visitors a year and a clear and easy to access what’s on information is essential for our customer experience. Our old displays were fragmented and not working. Having worked with Direct Distribution for a number of years we invited them to create a new ‘what’s on’ area in the concourse. Their innovative and responsive approach ensured we achieved our aim in building a better service for our customers”

We’ve have been working with Direct Distribution since 2007. During this time they have become a one stop shop providing us with everything from storage and scheduled deliveries through to print display and promo-activity. They are able to adapt and provide advice to ensure we carry out
campaigns efficiently and on-time. I would thoroughly recommend their team who are friendly, helpful and always accommodating.”
