The contract, which will be ongoing, was awarded after a short tender process that commenced in January this year.

Previously the direct marketing was handled by several agencies, with some managed in-house.
This latest coup follows Charterhouses success in securing the handling of all the collateral for the relaunch of The AirMiles Travel Company last year (PrintWeek, 27 November 2003).
