Lizzie Brock of
RateMyPlacement.co.uk said “Avanti
Express were incredibly helpful
and supportive throughout the last few months
ensuring the distribution of 60,000 guides
across the UK, delivered to over 200 separate
locations. I have been extremely impressed with
their level of customer service and willingness
to help, acting quickly and efficiently if ever
more guides were requested. Thanks to the team
for all their hard work!"Created by
four recent graduates in 2007,
RateMyPlacement.co.uk has quickly become one
of the leading resources for work placement and
internship opportunities and information.
Visitors to the company's website can search
through hundreds of the latest work placement
and internship opportunities in a wide range of
disciplines and industries. The site contains
over 8,000 unique student-written reviews on
their experiences with employers plus expert
advice, forums, blogs and videos on anything and
everything to do with work placements and
internships.
Not relying on students to
visit the website
RateMyPlacement.co.uk proactively sends
prospectuses to every university in the UK which
are then used by the university careers services
to help students find paid placements and
internships that support and compliment their
particular course.
In order to promote
and celebrate excellence among employers,
universities and students in undergraduate
placements and internships
www.ratemyplacement.co.uk also runs the
National Placement and Internship Awards.
This year awards took place in January at Cass
Business School, City University, London and
were attended by over 200 people from the world
of graduate recruitment and higher education.
The award for the Best Placement and Internship
Employer went to Grant Thornton and Best
University Placement or Careers Service was
awarded to the University of Huddersfield,
School of Computing & Engineering.
The Milk Round is the well known series of
on-campus events where companies visit
universities around the country in order find
the best students to recurit in to their
business.
RateMyPlacement.co.uk has a presence at most
events.
The fulfilment task of
getting thousands of prospectuses and over a
hundred Milk Round displays delivered on time is
delegated to
Avanti Express. The printer delivers the
pallets of literaure and the stands to our
warehouse near Manchester where the logistics
staff break down the pallets into individual
orders with each university having a specific
quantity. As the Milk Round events are organised
by an external organisation we have to manage
the deliveries to fit in with the events rather
than planning our own schedule. Over the past
two months we have acheived 100% success against
the service criteria.
2011
has been another busy year for us here at Avanti
Express and I would like to thank all of our
customers for placing your confidence in us. We have
enjoyed serving you and your customers and look
forward to continuing to do so in 2012.
