Award won By Richard Senior from Duraweld

Richard Senior, owner and director of Duraweld, has been awarded life-long membership of the BAPC (British Association for Print and Communication) in recognition of his dedicated services to the print industry. Announced at the Associations’ annual conference in Buckinghamshire last Saturday, Richard was presented with a specially engraved glass award to commemorate the event.

 

 

Duraweld, based in Scarborough, is one of the UK’s leading producers of customised presentation, packaging and printed products and celebrates 50 years in business this year.

 

At the presentation, Freddie Kienzler, Deputy Chairman of the BAPC, gave a short speech highlighting some of the many innovations Richard has made during his career such as his work on recycling, which have kept him at the forefront of the print industry. In particular, Freddie highlighted Richard’s entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to help others find solutions to their problems; and he spoke of his current role as Chairman of the Binding Industries of America, despite being British!

 

Richard commented: “I was absolutely stunned by the announcement and would like to thank the BAPC for their very kind words. I have great admiration for the Association and it is always a pleasure working with them. I would also like to say thank you to all our employees at Duraweld who have shown me amazing support over the years, and who are a fantastic team to work with.”

 

At the conference, Duraweld also launched its new online service to the public, featuring a ‘build your own binder’ facility, which is already proving a great success with customers. Visit the site at www.duraweld.co.uk

Build a Ring Binder Online Service Launched

Today at 5.00pm ring binder manufacturer Duraweld announced the launch of their unique online “Build your Own” service at the BAPC conference in Marlow.

 

As the result of two years of research and development, Duraweld customers can now receive instant quotes or place orders for fully customised ring binders - at any time of day or night. Although already the biggest website in the industry, the company is extending their existing e-commerce range to offer fully customised products at the click of a mouse.

 

In depth customer research convinced Duraweld that speed of reaction was the key selling point for their trade customers, who rely on a swift response from trusted suppliers in order to give their customers a quality service. So Duraweld has given them an instant option.

 

The interactive service guides customers through four easy steps allowing them to build over 250,000 different ring binders, with the ability to upload their artwork for print or encapsulation. This represents 90% of the traditional vinyl ring binder options Duraweld has been offering their customers for over 50 years.

 

Existing customers, who register for an online account are offered the opportunity to buy on credit and trade customers are guaranteed the same discounts they currently enjoy via the sales office.

 

Account manager Sue Dawson says, “Since we have offered the service to a few of our customers - we have been blown away by their enthusiasm. The feedback has been overwhelming. They find it simple to use, it saves them time and because they can actually see the product they are specifying, they feel confident to order online.”

 

With stock orders guaranteed within five days and bespoke orders delivered within 10 days of artwork approval; the online order tracking facility adds the peace of mind that Duraweld customers will get the right product, in the right place, at the right time and all for the right price.
