The partnership will mean that all Fedrigoni's commercial and distribution operations will be handled by Bespoke in the north, excluding Fedrigoni's Indigo products.

"The partnership with Bespoke is just one step that we have taken to optimise the service to all our UK customers," said Fedrigoni's UK & Eire sales manager, Simon Shenton.

Bespoke Paper has also appointed newly trained personnel who will provide customers with local experts in the north, ensuring a faster turnaround on Fedrigoni orders.

The Italian paper producer has also increased its sales team in the Midlands and London areas.
