The contract, which is worth 1.2m per annum, covers all printed material, ranging from operational print such as business cards and stationery, to marketing collateral, which includes direct mail.

"A key requirement from a print management solution was cost savings, but these had to be realised without affecting the quality and service required by the company's separate businesses, operating in different sectors," said Rentokil Initial procurement director Mike Tunnell.

Rentokil Initial operates in four different markets: hygiene, security, facilities management and parcel delivery.

"It is a key contract for us and we have enjoyed the diversity of challenges it has presented," said Adare Carwin sales and marketing director Steve Shaw.
