Out of Adversity…

Can and does come opportunity… and certainly we seem to be getting busier and busier each week with the recent spate of sales and acquisitions of both High Street Retail Chains and Brands within our favoured Sports and Fashion sectors.

A large amount of our work is arriving in the form of stock acquisitions and this month alone has seen two of the UK’s leading retailers as new clients at MAM…

Our ability to receive, consolidate, store and then prepare goods for the retail market… in some instances a case of re-branding, re-labelling, barcoding, re-pricing… indeed all manner of pre-retail services has effectively given MAM it’s busiest period in Pre-Retail in over five years!

Essentially and moreover critically on time… everytime… to the very highest standards…

Whoever mentioned an economic downturn!

MAM is particularly proud to announce its support as official European Store to the fabulous North American based charity ‘To Write Love on Her Arms’.

We officially launch the on-line webstore this week at www.mamstore.co.uk/twloha

The charity has been developed as a reaction to the global issue of self-harm within the teenage community… something that although affecting up to 4% of the population was still a mystery until the late Princess Diana revealed that she had herself struggled with the condition.

More can be found out about the charity… its aims… and its supporters which include many successful artists including Paramore, Underoath, Aberlin, and Plain White T’s…

A great charity and as we say…one that with your support will grow across the globe and remembering that with help and treatment… recovery and freedom is possible.

This is the second on-line music industry based charity handled by the MAM E-Commerce department. We already handle the 'Strummerville' webstore which is dedicated to the memory of the late and great Clash frontman Joe Strummer.

For more details please visit www.mamstore.co.uk or contact our E-Commerce Manager Martin Harrison.
