Technology, innovations and trends are a trademark of our business success. Though our supplier relationships are an important source of information, we also rely upon the collective experience of our peers. We track overall industry trends through active involvement in Trade and technology associations.. Our grasp of technology is significantly strengthened by memberships in The Peir Group and RSA. Most important of all, we listen carefully to our customers, a vital source of information about trends in the design professions, who provide us with a real world, local market focus. All of these alliances have provided us with strengths which a single firm, acting alone, could not easily acquire. Our industry is a microcosm of an increasingly interdependent world where cooperation is key to survival and growth. Makepeace moving forward, continues to explore and develop new ways to help you, our customer, succeed in an increasingly competitive world. The certainty we face is that technology will continue to fuel profound and frequent changes in the way that information is created, managed, and distributed. Thanks to the many talented, dedicated men and women who have helped Makepeace grow and prosper since 1895, and to those who continue our proud tradition of service and innovation, we welcome the challenges which lie ahead.
