       manipulate marketing databases to produce high- quality personalised letters

       house  expertise  to  develop  a  marketing  database.  In  both  cases,  the

       information  can  be  sorted,  post  coded  and  checked  for  duplication  by
       Lazerlink's software, and standard text letters printed with a high degree of
       personalisation.

       printing of high-quality personalised direct mail and the analysis of returns.
