Lyreco
Duane Fullwood and the mfg team
Lyreco are giants in the world of office stationery and office supplies. The family-owned business has operations throughout Asia, Australia, Canada and Europe. In the UK and Ireland, the company employs nearly 2,000 staff, with offices in Dublin, Airdrie, Scotland, and its Telford head office.
Duane Fullwood, Lyreco’s UK financial director, has worked with mfg during some exciting years of growth for both companies. He explains: “Our strong relationship goes back nearly 20 years, when the company now known as Lyreco was called Office International and mfg were Gwynnes Solicitors.
“Lyreco’s business has grown during this time from an annual turnover of £12 million to over £300 million for 2007 and mfg have proved to be an extremely valuable and very capable ‘partner’ throughout these years.
“Such rapid growth has brought many challenges and mfg have always provided totally reliable, timely, accurate guidance and advice, whether we have faced property, personnel, litigious or commercial issues.
“Everyone that I have dealt with at mfg has been professional, friendly, approachable and passionate about providing a high quality service. What I value most is that mfg make a real effort to fully understand our business and this knowledge further enhances their ability to provide accurate and tailored advice – which makes a real difference!
“I very much look forward to working with mfg for many years to come and I know that we will continue to receive the same high quality service in the future and to enjoy the strong relationships that we have built up with all of our contacts there.”
