About The Oldroyd Publishing Group
The Oldroyd Publishing Group is a family business based in Lytham St Annes in Lancashire. It was founded by Chairman Howard Oldroyd and is now headed by Managing Director Glenn Oldroyd.
The first company, Homebuyers Services & Co published various publications for the residential housing market and all were funded by revenue obtained from local advertising.
Medical Media
In 1990, it was recognised that a government directive to doctors opened up the possibility for an addition to the Group's product range and as a result of our market research, Doctors' Practice Booklets were launched. This was a significant move, the Group's first departure from the property-related market. In response to demand from our customers, Appointment Cards were introduced to augment our service to doctors and were supplied on the same free-of-charge basis.
Internet Media
In the year 2000, the Oldroyd Publishing Group began to design and host websites, initially for doctors' practices and estate agents, and then for a wide variety of local businesses throughout the UK and Ireland. OPG is a member of Nominet, the UK internet registry, and currently hosts and maintains websites for more than 1,000 surgeries, pharmacies, estate agencies and many other types of local business.
The Future
From
its early foundation in 1974 the Group Directors have taken an innovative, entrepreneurial
business approach, identifying new market areas and successfully developing them
accordingly. The sustained investment programme continues to be funded from internal
group resources and retained profit. Sensible diversification, the use of the
latest state-of-the-art technology by highly trained professionals, the motivation
of the specialist sales personnel and the lead given by a highly experienced
management team all serve to underline the Group's determination to remain at
the forefront of the market for promotional publishing in the professional sectors.
The Oldroyd Publishing Group is firmly committed to further success and growth.
Who we are looking for
To be considered for a position with the company, you will need good sales and closing experience. In addition, the group recruits only those people with the highest standards of personal and professional experience. You will not only be representing OPG but also the doctors' practice on whose behalf each publication and website is produced.
You will also need to display a good work ethic because the publications on each assignment you are allocated, have a brief and clearly defined selling window in which new advertisers can be included.
We further require you to commit to five full selling days each week and in addition to selling expertise, you will need to be familiar with basic internet searching and email communication.
