Woolworths wowed by PMP catalogue printing

PMP continues the catalogue climb, securing major retailer, Woolworths for another three years.

Richard Allely, (pictured) CEO of PMP, sees the news as a victory for the print and distribution giant. “If you can resign the largest retailer in the country then you have to be happy,” he told Print21.

Allely has high hopes of gaining further work from Woolworths, whose catalogue distribution contract comes up for tender in several weeks. “We are keen to take that on as well,” he added.

Since taking on the role of CEO, Allely has been quick to steer PMP back in the right direction after the distribution drama in 2008 when it admitted to delivery errors for some of its catalogues, resulting in the loss of the catalogue contract for Coles. This has included new appointments, such as David Chesser, who left PMP’s competitor, Salmat, to take up the role of general manager for PMP distribution.

“We’ve made a significant investment in our leadership team that runs our business, along with our sales team,” Allely said.

Two months ago, PMP claimed another by gaining the distribution of Target’s catalogues from rival, Salmat. “We are delighted to have signed up Target for our letterbox distribution,” Allely said. “When you get an organisation like Target making a decision like that it means your decision is in great shape.”
