Yorkshire direct mail specialist Propack has won a five-figure contract with children’s charity Plan International UK.
The Huddersfield-based company signed the four-year contract for the provision of sponsorship outsourcing for the charity’s UK division, PIUK. Propack, which has worked with PIUK on previous campaigns, will be supporting the fulfilment and distribution of five of PIUK’s key sponsorship processes, with mail pack production volumes forecasted to reach over 100,000.
The company, which produces in excess of 25 million mail packs per year from its 30,000 square foot site, will produce a range of materials to engage sponsors, including sponsored child introductions, welcome packs, child to sponsor letters and sponsored child updates.
Managing director of Propack, Jason Clough, said, ‘I am incredibly proud of the team for securing this tender to continue our work with Plan International UK. Having worked with their team on previous projects since 2018, we went into the tender process with a deep understanding of Plan’s values, goals and standards. PIUK is a fantastic organisation that delivers vitally important projects supporting children around the world. I am honoured that we can be a part of their team’s journey and support their mission to make sure every child has the same chance in life.’
Ayshe Kuyucuoglu, sponsorship operations team leader at Plan International UK, added, ‘We are delighted to announce that, after a very thorough round of longlisting and shortlisting, we have selected Propack to manage and deliver our sponsorship outsourcing for the next four years. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the team’s tender application, understanding of our requirements, proactivity, and professionalism throughout. We are excited to work with Propack to drive our sponsorship activities forward and reach our goals.’
