Corporate Profile

Commencing operations in 1997, the company concentrated on direct mail, print management and direct marketing.  The company’s focus was on providing direct marketing services to the corporate and SME market places.  This strategy led to steady growth of the company and critical mass was achieved in a relatively short time period.  In 1999 we offered response fulfilment to major companies and the public sector in London and the southeast.  In 2003 the business developed into a group of companies called the DMSYS Group, Direct Mail Works focused on print management, response fulfilment and direct mail. Direct Marketing Systems moved to new offices at the Oakwood Business Centre, Havant. The group has grown steadily throughout the new millennium, we now employ 20 staff and have a turnover of approximately £1million and have over 600 clients across the United Kingdom.


Our Philosophy

We believe that in this Internet Age that the traditional paper based marketing methods such as direct mail, print management and response fulfilment will continue to a vital part of the marketing mix.  In particular we understand the importance of high degrees of customer focus and client service, especially in the disciplines of print management and direct mail where our wealth of experience is key to our on-going success and that of our clients.  Equally response fulfilment and fulfilment house services require a close working relationship with our clients to ensure the effective and timely distribution of products and printed materials.  We look forward to technological changes in the direct marketing industry, in the knowledge that paper will be used many decades to come as a marketing tool.
