London repro firm wins RBI exclusive contract renewal

Classified Central Media (CCM) has won a two-year contract renewal with Reed Business Information as the sole supplier of its classified advert production.

Under the contract CCM will be responsible for carrying out all of the pre-press production for classified ads across 12 RBI titles, including New Scientist, Estates Gazette and Farmers Weekly.

CCM has worked with RBI since March 2008 when the company won the production contract from JJays (Southend).

CCM managing director Mike Harrington said he believed his company, which has recently merged with neighbouring repro firm Camden Town Typesetters, was preferred for the job because it could offer a comprehensive print production service with over 40 production staff.

He added: "We operate 24hrs throughout the week ensuring a response immediately at any hour for overnight press slots on demanding weekly titles, and all of this in London.

"We are big enough to cope with fluctuations in paginations and being local are able to offer a personal and tailored service to each of the 200 titles we produce."
