 A
Leader in Business Services
bringing together a unique combination of skills
We are a partnership between organisations to bring you a superior
range of business services in major markets around the world.
At the core of this partnership are three companies who have a
proven track record in their respective fields.
The
Robert Opie Collection
is the world's largest collection of British advertising imagery
and has developed a successful trading business, manufacturing
over 700 product lines for distribution in more than 30 countries
worldwide. The Museums & Giftware Agency is a business-to-business
sales organisation that has over 10 years experience in relationship-based
selling to over 4,000 museums and giftware outlets. Eurocosm,
based in Germany, is a management consultancy with experience
of helping some of Europe's largest companies. A key member of
our steering committee, Eurocosm has also developed our leading
internet-based sales management system, and is continuing to expand
our business services in the rest of Europe.
Our
business is growing your business
Our advantage is that we take a global view of your business
We offer a broad range of high-quality services to Museums &
Giftware Suppliers, ranging from distribution agreements through
to general business consulting. This gives us an additional advantage
over our competitors because, however large or small your requirement,
you will have the assurance that we can apply our specialist knowledge
in a way that fully supports your broader business goals.
Rather than managing a complex array of organisations who may
be unused to working with each other, you will only have to deal
with a single company. Moreover, being an international organisation,
we not only provide you with the services you need where you need
them, but also ensure that our services meet the highest international
standards.

You may be:
- a US company looking for a distributor in European markets
- a European company simply looking to improve sales performance

If you are a company with these or similar needs, anywhere in the world, you can expect a competent and
friendly service from an organisation that manages one
of the strongest museum giftware sales channels.
We are committed to the highest standards of customer
service and our ongoing recruitment programme is focused
on finding the very best people. We are engaged primarily
in relationship-based selling using a combination of telesales,
catalogue mailorder, internet and visting salesforce approaches.
In today's world it is only through the effective integration
of these channels that the increasing service expectations
of customers can be met, and optimal market penetration
will ultimately be achieved. We integrate these approaches
using one of the latest multi-lingual internet-based sales
management systems, improving efficiency and reliability,
and offering flexibility, scaleability and security.
Sales operations are managed from our two sales centers
in Reading, near London, and Saarbruecken on the French/German
border. Products are shipped fom two distribution centers
based in the UK and Germany.
