We always aim to give our customers the best products, at the right price, whilst delivering a service that exceeds all expectations. This has been our under-lying philosophy from the day we started trading in 1997 and as a result we are even more focused and driven by this belief today. Our team’s rich experience in working with today’s modern school environment is unrivaled and each member of our team is committed to our customer charter.

Always expect the very best, after all, without you, there is no hdc!

The Whole Package

You will benefit from our commitment to deliver the ‘whole package’. Not only will you enjoy extremely competitive pricing across our product range, but products that will last the rigours of a school year, produced using the best available materials and printed via the most up-to-date facilities our market has to offer.

Partnerships

We partner with educational associations to allow members access to exclusive offers and benefits. hdc are one of the longest serving Preferred Suppliers of ASCL, we have been partners of School Leaders Scotland for over ten years and more recently have been a commercial supporter of Schools NorthEast.

We are committed to continually developing products for you that are relevant to the curriculum. Our on-going programme of efficiency improvement across all of our activities through the utilisation of technology will ensure that we deliver exactly what you want, when you want it. We are also fully committed to our training programme to develop our team’s skills.

Delivery

We are committed to delivering every job on time, every time. Upon placing an order, we will ask for you for a required delivery date which enables us to provide a schedule and deliver your order on time, every time.

Environment

We strive to have as little effect on our environment as possible. All the materials (paper and board) that we use in the production of our educational publications are from sustainable sources. As a result all our paper sources are grown for paper production. We operate a recycling system within our factory ensuring our waste materials are collected and recycled.

I just wanted to say we were very excited about receiving our pupil planners recently and even more excited about sharing them with our children. It is the first time we have had them at our school and they have gone down a storm. The quality and look of the pupil planners is fantastic! We are really pleased with them, thank you.
