TNT ensure House of Fraser are being served
19-Apr-06
The Grace Brothers store in the BBC sitcom 'Are You Being Served' may have been famed for having a ground floor with perfumery, stationery and leatherware, but House of Fraser's head office in London can boast something unheard of in the days of comedy characters Mr Humphries, Mrs Slocombe and Captain Peacock.
As one of the country's leading department stores, House of Fraser, has taken the progressive step of outsourcing its internal mailroom activities and awarding a contract to mailroom experts, TNT Managed Services.
TNT Managed Services – a division of express delivery giant TNT – has signed an agreement to manage House of Fraser's internal mailroom at its headquarters based in Howick, Victoria.
The three-year deal includes mailroom management, loading bay and reprographics service. Thousands of items of internal mail will be sorted every week under the guidance of TNT's on-site operations manager and a three-strong team.
Bill Kyle, National Sales Manager, TNT Managed Services, said: "We're delighted to have won this prestigious contract with such a well respected and quality High Street name like House of Fraser.
"Our relationship with the key House of Fraser decision makers is very strong and has been developed over a number of years. Our proven track record and our experience in providing value added outsourcing solutions were crucial in HOF awarding this contract to us.
"Our 'smart sourcing' approach clearly pays dividends to our customers. And the bespoke, quality service we deliver means the possibilities for any potential client are endless."
TNT's Managed Services division has made it the star performer in the provision of outsourced office services.
Interest in TNT's generous portfolio of products, from cutting edge reprographics and mail imaging to third party supplier management and security, has rocketed since more products were introduced in the past few years.
Diversification and innovation has reaped rewards. Independent research conducted by respected business analysts TARP confirmed TNT's pre-eminent position when a poll of UK businesses ranked the company as Britain's number one mailroom operator.
