MEMBERSHIPAFFLIATES
Gubles Printers was accepted as an affiliated member of the Book SellersAssociation under the
category of manufacturing and supply of industrial, office stationery, printing, hardware and
business equipment. The company was placed in the unlimited section and able to quote for any
size of job from US$100.00 and above.
LEAD TIME
Our lead times are as soon as possible.
CONCLUSION
As indicated in the pages before, Gubles in 2006 did not embark on a major strategic drive which
resulted in the growth of its book, rather it benefited from the misfortunes of the likes of the big
entities in the printing industry which because of their continued reduced market share, it was
able to penetrate. The onus is now on Management to make the most out of these gains and this
will be a true test to the character of management and to prove that somehow they can deliver
the goods. However, given the national economic environment experienced in the past year it is
difficult to give a prognosis for Gubles, suffice to say that whatever happens, Gubles will likely
produce better results from 2007 and ahead.
We are therefore appealing to organisations, companies and schools to invite us for quotations
if need arises and should you have anything covering the above, please do not hesitate to
contact us.
Waiting in anticipation
