"At Calmac, we have worked with Direct Distribution (DD) for more than 10 years. In that time, our distribution requirements have changed substantially, from deliveries of the Calmac timetable to our own ports in 2001, to a complex matrix of publications which today are delivered to a large number of targeted sites around the UK and overseas. ..As our requirements have changed, the staff at Direct Distribution has worked with us to ensure our needs are met on every occasion. An efficient distribution service is essential to any business, and I would not hesitate to recommend DD."
