LANDMARK Press and Direct Distribution have joined forces to land a deal worth up to £1.1 million to provide and distribute leaflets for public bodies in Scotland.

The Scottish companies formed a consortium, LDDS, to successfully tender for the contract, under which it will supply organisations such as VisitScotland, Historic Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland.

The contract extends to the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body, Forestry Commission Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

LDDS director Angus White said: "We recognise that partnership in our industry is essential for success and this was at the heart of our bid: Direct Distribution and Landmark Press have worked together successfully in the Scottish tourism industry for over 20 years."
