Victor Stationery
Victor Stationery is a leading supplier of exercise books to schools across the United Kingdom and beyond. Producing over 50 million books and pads annually, from a 100% sustainable European forest supply, is not a simple feat.
For decades, Victor Stationery supplied its largest clients directly from its factory in Talin, whilst using distributors in individual countries to sell products to other trade customers. In addition, the distributors provided B2B and B2C internet sales for smaller volume orders.
Victor Stationery adopted a strategic approach aimed at establishing direct relationships with all its customers. To achieve this, they listed Slater Austin to develop a UK supply chain through reliable strategic partners, enabling Victor Stationery to build its own commercial connections with its customer base.
This transition required the selection of partners capable of delivering bulk orders to trade clients and providing e-fulfilment solutions directly to the customer. Slater Austin led the selection of appropriate supply chain partners, advised on the contractual arrangements and oversaw the change management process.
As a result, Victor Stationery now manages its commercial relationships directly and better respond to their needs, as well as enhance innovation and improve bottom-line performance.
