VOW Ireland has defied the challenging
Irish economy with a 19% increase in sales
in the two years to the end of 2014.
Rising sales reflect the efforts VOW Ireland
has made to satisfy the specific needs of the
Irish market. It has increased pallet capacity in its
Dublin warehousing facility and is working closely
with suppliers to increase the amount of stock
shipped directly to Ireland rather than through its
UK network.
According to the company, these measures
have resulted in a significant number of new
customers choosing VOW Ireland as their primary
wholesale partner.
For 2015, VOW Ireland aims to build on
97% fill rates, reliable service and high customer
satisfaction levels by shortening its stocked range
to 13,000 of its most in-demand SKUs.

Balreed has presented Proskills PrintIT! with
a cheque for £1,000 to help fund its mission
to educate students about the print and
paper industries. Since 2005, PrintIT! has
engaged with 2,000 schools and 140,000
pupils.
The money was raised through a ‘Pace or Pay
Challenge’ held at Balreed’s Maidstone head

colleagues to run up to three miles on a treadmill.
In total, 44 members of staff ran, walked and
danced 84 miles on two treadmills.
Balreed is one of 10 companies taking part
in PassIT!, which aims to raise money for PrintIT!
