WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING ABOUT CATEX DCA...

"Charles Tyrwhitt joined CatEx DCA primarily to increase the number of swaps we could do. For smaller companies, who are still growing their skill base, CatEx DCA 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!"
Peter Higgins, Director
Charles Tyrwhitt

"To succeed in an increasingly dynamic mail order marketplace it's vital to grasp every possible competitive advantage. CatEx DCA 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."
David Robinson, Marketing Director
The Webb Group (Webb Ivory)

"The mail order community exists through its ability to share information and learn from the experiences of others. CatEx DCA is the next progression, an organisation created for mail order companies to further those aims and so face problems and opportunities with one voice." 
Mark Wilby, Operations Director
Nauticalia

"CatEx DCA 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 Direct Commerce magazine and ECMOD, to produce a tight knit, progressive industry." 
Alex Pratt, Founder

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."
