Doug Mace, Managing Director of Harland Simon comments. "The latest order from Shropshire Newspapers in the MNA group continues the trend of major newspapers world-wide placing significant orders with Harland Simon. This is happening in both the UK and US newspaper market, as our reputation for delivering successful projects grows and grows. We have come out of the other side of a dramatic restructuring process leaving us with a highly skilled, flexible workforce where the team works together to deliver extremely complex projects on time with no lost production. Customer satisfaction is now the main driver of the company.

We have been receiving letters of thanks and commendation on the excellent projects the Harland Simon team has been producing. We put this down to the quality of the people and an open communications approach with our customers where we strive to get better and better.

But we are not complacent and have been recruiting in both the engineering and service aspects of our business to ensure continued success in the light of the increased level of business. This work has put us in very good position to really boost our diversification program which has already seen success in transportation, petrochemical, paper making and metals"
