Vertis spreads out in Scotland

Vertis, the direct mail specialist, hopes to expand its Scottish operation with the opening of a "foothold" sales office in Edinburgh.

Sales director Ruaraidh Thomas said: "We already have several big clients in Scotland but we see it as a major growth area. This will help us develop our relationships with them as well as with prospective clients."

The office will initially operate as a base for Scottish sales and as a platform to raise the groups profile.
