TESTIMONIALS

"I'm absolutely delighted to have been elected to the board of the Catalogue Exchange. I'm very excited about what the future holds for the Catalogue Exchange, and can't wait to really get stuck in. If the first board meeting I attended was anything to go by, it will be a fascinating and exciting experience. I look forward to working with some of the most knowledgeable and passionate individuals in the sector as we fight our corner for both members and the industry as a whole. I promise to work hard to forge a strong and mutually beneficial alliance between the client and supplier members."

"Charles Tyrwhitt joined Cat Ex primarily to increase the number of swaps we could do. For smaller companies, who are still growing their skill base, Cat Ex is a must. The contacts you make will help with recruitment of new staff, or at least in referencing people you are thinking of employing. You cannot afford not to join!"

"I joined the Catalogue Exchange as it provided an excellent opportunity to network and share appropriate insights and learning with fellow professionals.  In a tough multi channel retail environment, it is important that we can use our specialist skills, knowledge and expertise to optimize sales and customer loyalty to profitably grow and compete with other forms of retail."

"To succeed in an increasingly dynamic mail order marketplace it's vital to grasp every possible competitive advantage. The catalogue exchange provides advantages that we just wouldn't want to miss out on. Not only does it enable us to cut our recruitment costs, but it has also opened up the chance for us to network with and tap into the huge bank of knowledge of our peers in the marketplace."

"The Mail Order community exists through its ability to share information and learn from the experiences of others. The Catalogue Exchange is the next progression, an organisation created for Mail Order Companies to further those aims and so face problems and opportunities with one voice."

"Catex is a superb resource for us. It brings together the best minds in the business with deep experience and a desire to work together to make each other stronger. There are not many industries where the call for help from a minnow will be taken by an industry giant. We like to give as much as we get, which we think is the mark of a truly effective network focused on winning rather than chatting for the sake of it. It dovetails very well with Catalogue E-business and ECMOD, to produce a tight knit, progressive industry." 
Alex Pratt, Founder

We all have very busy lives and I often wish I hadn’t committed to attend, but on reflection after the event, I’m so glad I did. After nearly fifteen years involved in the industry, the pace of change is relentless and attending these events helps Lyco keep abreast of all that is new in the exciting world of online and offline marketing.”
