Here's What Our Community Have to Say About Us
“BLOC have been a key business partner for Normans for a number of years, providing industry support when needed across our business at all levels, from staff training to keener price files with wholesalers.”
“We’ve used Kascaid Marketing for some time now and have just taken on a slightly new approach to our emails and monthly postcards to send out with our customer orders, seems to be working well! The Team are excellent at putting fresh ideas together and tailoring the right aim for our customer base. ”
“We have been working with Kascaid on our social media and marketing for over 10 years and in that time together we have come up with some brilliant and dare I say WACKY ideas for promotions featuring Margaret. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the team.”
“We’ve been guided through the Weaver Sustainability Programme, from which we received Platinum Certification in all areas. This has helped us to focus our efforts in key areas to make the business more environmentally conscious, and commercially, the process has benefited us across of number of tender opportunities, due to the strategies we now have in place.”
