The company won the one-year contract, which could be worth up to 2m, for the production of direct mail, high-volume leafleting and promotional printed products for two of Unilevers UK operating companies, Unilever Bestfoods and Lever Faberg.

Unilever interviewed a number of print management companies but Sutton-based HH was awarded the contract after a successful three-month trial period.

Lever Faberg non-production items buyer Debbie Mendoza said: "We used a simple set of criteria for our selection process. Based on the results of the trial, HH Associates was clearly the most competitive in terms of quality, performance and overall price."

Last month the Carphone Warehouse renewed its contract with HH Associates (PrintWeek, 5 July).

HH Associates, which has been established for over 10 years, expects to record sales of over 20m for the next financial year. In addition to Unilever, its other clients include British Gas, Consignia, the AA and the Labour Party.
