Fairway grabs 3m business with Goldsmith

Fairway PSD, the print management and logistics arm of Thomas Potts, has signed a 3m contract with jewellery retailer Goldsmiths Group for three years.

The Langley-based company will source all of Goldsmiths point-of-sale, packaging and printed materials for its 1,900 product lines, across 160 UK and Irish stores.

These "collaterals" will be stored at Fairways distribution centre and Goldsmiths staff can place daily orders using an intranet linked to its WADS ordering system.

Fairways sales director, Mark Kendrick, said: "Theres an emerging need for retailers to outsource projects of this type. We have the skill and resource to manage complex just-in-time, multi-product, multi-destination contracts for large retailers such as Goldsmiths."

According to Goldsmith, this contract is "the bed-rock of a long-term commitment".
