I'd also like to pass on some feedback; the girls who were working on the Newsletters have been very pleased with they way these have gone.
This is a quarterly job that has been problematic in the past but seems to have gone very smoothly this time. Please pass on my thanks to your team for their excellent work. Again, I am open to any suggestions/feedback on how we can make the process better.

On behalf of everyone at TradePro, I would like to pass on my appreciation to all at Sterling for the exceptional performance during our recent APR mailing.
Despite the very tight timescales and the complicated nature of the mailing, all our goals were achieved on time and in budget.
It is a refreshing change to have a supplier working as a partner and embracing the same philosophy as us. The team that looks after TradePro is superb and helps us maintain our standing in the market place.

The following was posted on the RICS intranet;
The outsourcing of RICS Design to Sterling Solutions has been a success - thanks in large part to the patience and support of staff during the transition. Design work is now channeled through Sterling as part of a retainer arrangement.
Many departments have already used Sterling resulting in a number of successful projects.
'Sterling have successfully taken forward the work done to establish the RICS brand while providing new and innovative ideas to how it can be used to best advantage.'
Stephen Brown, Head of Research
'Sterling recently produced some highly effective online creative for promoting ricsfirms.com. The email sent to Fish4homes registered users generated an excellent 17% response rate, leading to an extra 1000 members of the public using the online find a surveyor service in July.'
Sheetal Girdhari, Brand and Campaign Promotion Manager
By putting your design work through Sterling you will receive a consistent level of service and high quality designs. In addition, increasing the volume of work put through Sterling will result in economies of scale for RICS.
