Marketing giant Dsicmm has continued its rapid expansion with a £10m site investment and another acquisition as it consolidates its business at two sites.

If you can drive from Dagenham to Northampton in 30 minutes you must be Lewis Hamilton. It will all end in tears.

where does K2's print and lasering dept fit in with this new spend?

In response to Jack Sheperd, part of the investment was clearly for a new fleet of executive Formula 1 cars. 30 minutes is achievable, though for safety's sake, I will suggest that helmets be worn.

If you can get from Dagenham to the M25 in 30 minutes you'll get on the 'Top Gear' wall of fame. 11 polylines in Dataforce site ... wonder if the site will need extending to fit these all in. Either way I wish DSI all the best, it is nice to hear of a company doing as well as this given all the current climate of doom and gloom. Bernard Reilly Mediatech Direct.

You've all already covered the '30 minute drive' topic so I won't comment on this, only to say that I think I could do it in my Lexus. So, onto the next most ridiculous point of the article: 11 polylines???? Looking at the current plant list and offering at the moment, I'd say this investment is a bit of a gamble. Polywrapping is a totally different market to the field they are in as a business at the moment both from a sales and operational perspective. I'm guessing they think they'll fill 11 lines with the current dataforce client list, cross selling to their DM and transactional clients, topped up with new business? Mmmmmm, curious... I make that about 2.5million packs per day at average running speeds \(24 hour running) to get close to making it pay. DSCi, I hope you've got some nice contracts lined up, and are ready to capture some serious market share, because if you don't then you're going to come a cropper! Getting too big for their boots I wonder? Good luck though... Ah haa

Mr Partridge remember that they own Alphamail at Burgess Hill

Ah yes Jack - a point well made. That may help, but to such a large extent? - We shall see! rgds Alan

I have to say that is Ms Noble and team getting too big for their own good. Can see that the plan was probably to exit by floation but given the stock market situation its going to be long time before that can happen. A trade sale is out of the question as who would want or can afford to take this monster on. The DM market turnover is falling and will be specalised and therefore smaller jobs so why the big push to be the biggest? why not the best?.

In answer to Jack Shepherd - Alpha Mail at Burgess Hill no longer exsists, we were made reduntant on the 22nd August 2008.
