CFH records busiest billing period following council contracts boost

CFH Total Document Management has announced its most active billing period on record, with more than 2.7m local authority documents printed and mailed during last month (March 2008).

The Radstock-based firm logged the figure during its main billing period, in which the company produces work on behalf of 26 local authorities, including Europe’s largest council, Birmingham City Council.

The document management firm, which secured new contracts with councils throughout 2007, experienced a 35% jump over last year's figures.

CFH managing director Dave Broadway said: "This has, without a doubt, been our most active and successful main billing period, with CFH carrying out 13% of all local authority main billing produced in England and Wales this year."

During the company's main billing period, CFH sends out a variety of documents including NNDR bills (National Non-Domestic Rates), exemption notices as well as rent statements and council tax benefit letters.

In 2007, the firm invested in a raft of new kit, which included a Pitney Bowes Olympus II Multi-tier Mailsorter, two Duplo system 5000 bookletmakers, and a Xerox iGen3 digital press.
