Billion pound challenge

The ASK Group in Bury St Edmunds is fighting back against the recession and credit crunch by continuing its investment policy and has seen this pay off spectacularly.

October was ASK’s record ever month with over £285,000 of new orders; more than £80,000 higher than their previous record month in 2007.

Celebrating 20 years in business this very month, ASK has invested this year in ISO9001, a 20Mb leased line, 2 new servers and a modern VOIP telephone system.

“Our recent investment and hard work seems to have produced amazing results”, said ASK’s founder and Managing Director earlier today.  He continued, “our new clients have included Microsoft, amongst others, which I am very proud about.”

“I am certainly not complacent.  The credit crunch has seen the value of my commercial premises drop by 30% and my residential property by 15%, which in turn affects the amount I can borrow to fund our business.  However, I believe that real businesses and real people still need real work performing, recession or no recession. So whilst I believe people and companies have a demand or need for our services I will continue to invest all my time and money ensuring we can meet and increase that demand.”

“To that end, this month we have launched 2 new nationwide websites: www.askcalendars.co.uk and www.christmascardprinting.co.uk, with all production and printing provided in Bury St Edmunds, and will be refreshing our worldwide www.translate.co.uk website in January.”

ASK operate in a number of B2B sectors, are one of the UK’s leading translation companies, a leading digital print on demand provider, an ISO9001 website design and development company and run serviced offices in Bury St Edmunds.
