Letts Filofax Group Ltd - Diaries

LETTS, the venerable diary maker, is the latest company to shift production back to Britain as rising costs in the Far East and improved technology back home have made manufacturing in this country attractive once again.
Letts have invested in machinery and fulfillment systems that allows them to offer a more personalised option. We now implement global contracts, which include a web-based order system, offering bespoke products, and added product personalisation which are then fulfilled to all regions of the world. Over 300 staff are employed by Letts at a 250,000 sq ft factory which incorporates customer service, print, bindery, and fulfillment on one site. The company has always maintained some manufacturing in Scotland, but certain products were made in Asia for cost and capability reasons.
Now Letts has invested £230,000 in new printing technology which will allow it to produce more of its diaries and personal organisers at its 250,000sq ft factory in Dalkeith.
Sales and marketing director Charles Letts said the three machines would allow the company to make better use of its 350-strong Scottish workforce and stabilise employment at the plant.
He said the firm had always preferred to manufacture in Britain but customer demand for more complex diary designs forced it to branch out to the Far East, where they could be produced more cost-effectively.
But this has “inevitably brought issues in terms of producing finished products on time alongside the increasing cost from Far East suppliers”, he said.
Letts said production costs in Asia had been rising as wages in China were climbing fast. A booming internal market also meant Chinese manufacturers were less interested in exporting.
The firm had been making about one-third of its products overseas, but that will now be cut significantly as the latest technology increases productivity and makes it cost effective to make those products in Britain.
Letts said manufacturing at one site in the UK gave the company closer control of its production, which was something valued by clients, especially in the retail market where short lead times are key. The firm, which started life as a stationer in 1796 and created the first commercial diary in 1812, also produces branded products for the corporate market.

The Printed Cup Company

The Printed Cup Company currently manufacture paper cups from their factory in China and have been doing so since 2007. Recently, they have opened a new manufacturing unit in the UK, producing printed paper cups. The Printed Cup Company has received European Union funding to open a new UK manufacturing facility to make paper cups in Clitheroe from early spring 2012. It is predicted that 75% of these will be for export.
 Union Jack cups
The company was founded in 2005 and began operating out of Mark Woodward’s front room, after he was made redundant in his 50’s following a long career in the packaging industry. The company has expanded year on year despite the impact of the global recession, and a new European Sales Office was recently built adjoining the manufacturing unit. The company’s turnover has doubled over the past 12 months, and 2 new members of staff have joined the team in the last 6 months alone. The Paper Cup Company was recently featured on the BBC One’s Inside Out programme, and has featured on radio stations and in magazines.

Mark Woodward said “Our growth shows that customers are looking for a fast, reliable service, delivering a quality product in small quantities and the UK is the right place to base this manufacturing plant to serve Europe.”

The North West is currently suffering more than most regions with high unemployment rates. This exciting new business development will create new jobs within the company, mainly in the production units, and provides the region with a refreshing dose of positive news during the economic downturn.

PlayPlax Toys - Educational and Entertaining

About PlayPlax


Invented by Patrick Rylands in 1966, PlayPlax went on to sell over a million copies. 

Patrick was an art student when he first came up with the concept of these brilliant interlocking squares. When we decided to bring it back we knew one thing - it had to be as good as the original. 
We found and used the factory in Cheshire who used to make it. They still had the dye recipes which meant we could perfectly reproduce the beautiful colours. Although they look like perspex, the pieces are actually made of polystyrene.

Nexen Fork Lift Trucks

Nexen has announced that following fast on its decision to move its entire R & D programme from its manufacturing facility in Taiwan to the U.K. it has also decided to move the production of its successful "X" range to its home base at Lowestoft Suffolk.
Commenting on this significant move Tim Mason U.K. Managing Director said "We have an extensive programme of new models in the pipeline that are to be added to our existing range and we can now oversee and control the time taken to get these trucks from the development stage into full production. This will also meet the concerns of several major component suppliers being reluctant to release specialised development items to Taiwan given the proximity of China.

Chapel Down Winery

England remains one of the most tolerant, caring, enterprising, ingenious, creative, stylish, energizing and occasionally eccentric places on Earth. If those values are important to you, then you're English - whether you were born here or not. They are not just English values. They are Chapel Down's values.
I think that we have something very special at Chapel Down. Assembled here is a team of highly professional, talented people who share a vision of creating World Class, interesting, distinctive and award-winning wines. We are all aware that we are lucky to do this in the fabulous environment of the Garden of England. We are really proud of what we have done, what we do here now and excited about the future.
We don't tend to talk about the generalities of English wine, we talk about Chapel Down. Because we are different. What makes the Chapel Down way of business different and better?
It's not just the gold medals and the press coverage that makes our jobs such a pleasure, but the real excitement we get from winning friends and converts. If you have never visited the winery and vineyard in Tenterden, I would urge you to come. No matter what your experience of wine has been, we guarantee that you will be surprised and delighted by everything we have to offer. If, like me, you like to go to bed a little less stupid than you were in the morning, then we can help educate, entertain and inform you in tours, tastings and events that can be as exclusive as you wish.
