Bedford Staples closing down at Interchange Retail Park

In the New Year you'll no longer be able to access Staples 'Total Copy & Print solutions' as Staples at Interchange Retail Park is closing down.

Fidelity achieves ISO9001 with flying colours!

Following eight months research, planning and preparation, we are delighted to have passed our second stage assessment for ISO9001 with flying colours.

Fidelity is certified to ISO9001 for the following scope: the design, production and supply of digitally printed products and the managed production of lithographically printed products, to customer requirements, at the Ampthill site.

It has by no means been easy work (currently only around 5% of UK companies have achieved ISO9001) but we know that our clients and future clients increasingly value working with companies that place their quality assurances at the heart of their operations. We have now completed this internationally recognised certification and state our continued commitment to good practice and attentive customer care.

Our quality policy is available on our website

Ampthill Festival - what goes on behind the scenes?

Ampthill Festival will soon be on upon us and over again in a flash! A lot of work goes into organising the Festival events and all of it is done by volunteers. Months before it has even occurred to most people that Ampthill Festival will be coming around soon, the volunteers who organise it are working hard to make sure each year is bigger and better then the one before.

Fidelity are equally as involved in this process as we design and print marketing materials for the Ampthill Festival team as part of our charitable/community group partnership scheme and in return for sponsorship. And providing service to three different teams of people who all have different needs is no easy task. Members of the committee, who fit the Festival work around their everyday lives and jobs, despatch orders and requests as and when it suits them and we respond as and when we have time but everything gets done. The team often feel that they are a burden, which they can be when we're choca, but we all work well together and it's not like we don't know what to expect - is it guys?!

Following on from last years Ampthill Festival rebrand, this year Fidelity have provided a new website in order to pull all three events together under one umbrella website. The new Ampthill Festival website also gives the festival committee the opportunity this year to trial selling tickets online for Ampthill Park Proms.

Please visit the new website at www.ampthillfestival.co.uk for all the most up-to-date info (we're always on top of it!) and when you attend AmpRocks, Ampthill Park Proms or Gala Day, please give a thought to the volunteers who have put hundreds of hours of work in to creating such memorable and enjoyable events!

This is the only way you'll ever see any of us on a double page spread, thankfully!
