The Homework Diary Company

I  scheduled a meeting with Mr Derek Young, the sales director of the Homework Diary Company Ltd., last Friday in our school.
Before he arrived, we had our minds set on the previous quote we had received jointly from Exactaprint and Cameron Book Binders.

Derek brought with him his portfolio of previous publications. Dalziel High School's yearbook which is their biggest production. Derek also mentioned it was the biggest yearbook in Britain. His company's work was excellent.

The meeting was professional, though informal. Derek was concise and to the point, he did not comment on the other quote's we had received, rather he showed what his company could offer.

The Homework Diary Company already have excellent links with St Maurice's as they publish all of our homework diaries and teachers’ diaries as well as 2003's yearbook.

He mailed us when he returned to his company on Friday which arrived on Tuesday. The price he quoted for his production of 80 copies of full colour hard back has dramatically reduced from the initial quote of £23.50 per copy, down to £17 per copy as we are producing the pages ourselves.

After a quick meeting with our yearbook committee, we decided to reply straight away to Derek to accept the offer. We drafted a response letter which was signed by Mr Mulheron which was dispatched on the 25th November.
