::: Africa

Africa has been Mallory's main market ever since the business was founded in the mid 1980s. We have built up strong local connections throughout the continent, with unsurpassed skills in managing and delivering contracts of every size. We have an unrivalled record of successful contracts in Africa. Last year alone, our turnover there exceeded £1.5m Sterling, composed mostly of major book supply contracts with universities, schools and aid funded projects, plus a smaller amount of journal consolidation.

We pay particular attention to the details of supply: to reliability of local delivery, to precision of consolidation and paperwork, to the professional management of documentary credits and of the related financial infrastructure. Our local representatives are on hand to resolve any issues that arise in the process of supply and of local delivery, and to ensure that customer needs are met.
