The Mailing Room was founded in 1998 and has since flourished into the UK’s leading independent Royal Mail-approved supplier and maintainer of postal franking equipment. Its market offering covers the whole spectrum of mailroom technology, from compact, digital Mailmark-compliant franking machines, to advanced systems with integrated mail processing and receiving. It also sources, installs and services sophisticated bulk mail inserter systems, supplies ancillary equipment like postal scales, automated letter openers, document shredders and mail scanners for enhancing mailroom security, and is pioneering parcel shipping solutions with online links to up-to-the-minute carrier rates. The company initially operated in the mailroom market as a franchised franking machine provider, meeting the demands of the public sector across the UK for best value mailing equipment. It fast became an approved supplier to over 3,000 publically-funded bodies, including local authorities, hospitals, schools, universities and government departments, working within key framework agreements and endorsed by the largest procurement organisation, Crown Commercial Services. As a result, it can offer highly specialised consultancy advice on mailroom management across the public domain, to achieve more cost-effective, accurate and streamlined franking mailing. TMR’s market experience of helping public bodies of all sizes to develop effective, cost-saving mailing strategies, prompted expansion into the commercial sector, drawing upon its customer support experience and technical services provision. It helps large-scale organisations to cut mailing costs by switching from postage stamps to franking machines, promoting the same cost-saving message to the UK’s retail sector, professional services like lawyers, accountants and management consultants, and SME’s. Its market credentials are also endorsed by ISO accreditations for quality assurance, environmental management and information security.
