We’re SOLO Mailing Services
At SOLO, we believe great service is about people as much as processes.
We’re proud to be an independent business with the same friendly, personal approach that’s been at the heart of SOLO from the very beginning. We believe in building long-term relationships through honest advice, reliability and a commitment to getting things right. Whether you’re planning your first mailing or have been working with us for years, you’ll always receive the same approachable service and attention to detail.
Established in 1988, SOLO Mailing Services built a reputation for reliability, flexibility and quality. Since becoming part of SOLO Managed Services UK Ltd in 2009, we’ve continued to invest in our people, technology and services while staying true to the values that have always defined our business.
Today, SOLO provides a wide range of mailing, fulfilment, print, warehousing, data and managed services, supporting organisations of all sizes across the UK. Whether you need help with a one-off mailing, ongoing fulfilment or a more complex managed service, our aim is simple: to make the process straightforward, cost-effective and stress-free.
Many of our customers have been with us for years, and we’d like to think that’s because we believe in doing business the right way. We take the time to understand what our customers need, communicate openly and deliver what we’ve promised.
Our Environmental Policy
At SOLO we are proud and passionate about our commitment to improving the future of our environment. We successfully launched our own in-house environmental policy in 2008 in a bid to shape our business for the future.
In January 2009 we achieved ISO 14001 accreditation which has been successfully audited each year since.
All paper based products that we use are derived from responsibly sourced materials. This includes letterhead, carrier sheets and envelopes for every job we do, every time we do it. We also offer a full range of recycled paper based products to help our customers to comply with their own sustainability practices.
All the polythene we use is 100% recyclable.
Once agreed with the customer we recycle all leftover materials from our customers’ mailings upon completion of each job. This includes leftover letterhead, magazines and mailers. We recycle using an accredited organisation that hold a license with the Environment Agency.
Please feel free to give us a call if you would like to discuss any of the environmentally friendly products we offer.
Our Quality Policy
SOLO is dedicated to providing the highest possible standards of quality for its products and services
We are proud of our excellent reputation for responsible practices and dedicated client care.
The company defines quality as the conformance of products and services to established, documented requirements that are derived from client needs and employee expertise and experience.
SOLO’s quality management system, that has been successfully audited to ISO 9001 standard since 2009, is constantly monitored and reviewed to provide continuous improvement.

GDPR and our Data Protection Policy
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), designed to strengthen data protection for individuals within the EU, became law on 25th May 2018.
SOLO is fully compliant with GDPR and ensures that all personal data is processed fairly, lawfully and transparently, without ever adversely affecting the rights of a data subject.
We believe that the Regulation offers a great opportunity for businesses to build more transparent and trust-based relationships with their customers and contacts, and SOLO can help you every step of the way to ensure that your mailing is handled appropriately and lawfully.
In March 2018, SOLO was successfully audited by an independent certifying body to meet the internationally recognised ISO27001 standard – Information Security Management Systems. The GDPR encourages the use of schemes such as this to serve the purpose of demonstrating that an organisation is actively managing its data security in line with international best practice.

What sets us apart?
Trust isn't something we expect. It's something we earn. We understand trust is born of a relationship over time and it builds slowly and carefully. We will never give you cause to doubt us and you will always be aware of exactly when and how your work is being undertaken. No hidden charges. No fuzzy deadlines. No disappointments.
There is no more important business tool. Clear and concise communication with our customers is at the core of our business. Project details will always be confirmed in writing for approval prior to any work taking place. It matters to us that we understand your needs, and that we are acting in accordance with your wishes.
There is a lot to be said for a sustained business relationship built upon individuals; it is always easier to deal with those you have successfully dealt with before. That’s why the SOLO team will understand the way you prefer to work and will always be there to help you to coordinate the myriad of tasks that surround each mailing campaign.
Timing is everything… If your mailing is time sensitive you can rest assured that SOLO will deliver on time, every time. At the start of the project we agree a mailing date and when we will receive data/materials. As long as those items are with us on or before the agreed time, we guarantee to have your mailing out on time! If we fail, you pay only the postage costs… all SOLO services are FREE
