Founded over 50 years ago, Cromwell supplies an extensive range of maintenance, repair and operations products to support industry and keep people safe. With a network of branches and offices in the UK and across the globe, Cromwell is a single-source supplier to multiple industries, professions and trades, providing easy and reliable access to great value, high-quality cutting tools, power tools, precision equipment, personal protection products and more. They also offer a diverse profile of technical and specialist support, ranging from in-depth product expertise to on-site solutions.
As part of an internal brand-building campaign, Cromwell required a new leaflet that would communicate its company’s key purpose and principles more clearly and in a more compelling way. To optimise engagement and impact, they decided to launch this leaflet in time for Valentine’s Day and deliver it to staff members along with a Valentine’s Day gift.
Cromwell wanted this leaflet to include a personal touch, as their key purpose and principles are “driven from the heart of what they do”. They also wanted a format that was easier to handle, read and retain – preferably pocket sized, as their previous leaflet was too large and unsustainable.
Cromwell chose to work with PDS and appointed us as their design, sourcing and fulfilment partner on this project. The PDS team assigned to this campaign included a Relationship Manager, Senior Account Executive, a Designer and the fulfilment and logistics team.
Our agencypds developed an engaging new design concept for the leaflet. All visual and content elements are centred around Cromwell’s purpose and principles, to build and strengthen brand awareness.
The design introduces icons representing each principle, and acts as key visual statements throughout the leaflet. Bright colours and bold text engage the reader, while keywords are outlined with boxes and shadows to ensure the message is clear and easy to understand.
As the leaflet has a Z-fold format, it can be opened out to view multiple pages at once. This, along with a dotted line that ties all the principles together, takes the reader on a journey through the leaflet.
PDS drew on our in-depth sourcing expertise supported by strong supplier partnerships to offer Cromwell a single-source solution for all printing, packaging and gifting requirements on this project. We managed the printing of the leaflet, along with a cover letter.
As Cromwell wanted to deliver the leaflet to multiple recipients and a gift of chocolates to celebrate Valentine’s Day, we sourced high-quality heart-shaped chocolates and an eye-catching red jiffy bag to carry the items in, keeping them safe and secure while remaining on-brand.
PDS collated the items together in-house and successfully delivered them to 45 locations around the UK, in good time for Valentine’s day.

“I just want to say a huge thank you to team PDS for an excellent pice of work in getting the ‘Valentine’s Drop’ on the door steps to our colleagues.
