R6 to offer advice on mailing
Two former Deutsche Post Global Mail employees have set up a logistics and mail consultancy to offer companies help dealing with distribution and postal networks throughout the world.
R6 Consultancy, based in Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire, is initially concentrating on transporting print within Europe, but wants to extend its services to include address and data management, marketing services and transactional mail production as required.
Managing partner Graham Rothery said R6’s aim was to pick the best options for clients, particularly in DM, mail order and financial sectors, and provide alternatives to the Royal Mail.
‘We are not necessarily beholden to any one supplier as we have the transport solution to use a printer anywhere in the world,’ said Rothery. ‘We have a job being printed in Nottingham that will then be mailed in Spain. And we’ve also been consulted by a large mailing house to look at getting UK-printed work to the US.’
Rothery claimed R6 was in tenders that would gross around pounds 10m worth of work, and was hopeful of securing ‘at least half of that’.
