As we roll into a brand new year, the team at NMM would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best for a very happy and prosperous 2012.

Although we are faced with predictions again this year of a difficult economic environment for the Print and Distribution industry in Australia and in our Region, our focus continues to be on providing service excellence and retaining our very loyal client base.

What has become obvious to us in recent years is that Canberra-based clients, be they from the public or private sectors, hold great value in being able to deal with local contractors - suppliers and service providers who understand the local conditions; who value and support local business; who offer the flexibility, personal service, diversity and value for money solutions demanded in the current difficult economic conditions.

Although a number of national companies appear to be reviewing the extent of their presence in the Canberra region, NMM is committed for the long term and will continue to provide a valuable and essential service in our local market.

The management and staff at NMM also continue to be strong supporters of local charities and community groups. The staff raffle at our recent Christmas function raised nearly $700 for the ACT Eden-Monaro Cancer Support Group, which brings to more than $13,000 our direct and indirect financial support during calendar year 2011.

We look forward to 2012 being a safe, productive and prosperous year for all of our staff, clients and suppliers, and wish you well in all your endeavours throughout the year.

Sincerely,

Dennis Ogden

General Manager
