What people are saying about us

"I felt from the outset that CDS was used to working with ‘people like us’ in the public sector. They have brought new ideas to the table on how we can save money by standardising as much as possible and cutting down on bespoke printing."

"I have come to view CDS as a useful virtual addition to our in-house team, with expertise I can quickly call on when a new challenge emerges or when we need to top up on capacity and when we are developing digital marketing solutions."

"Working with CDS has been both constructive and professional. They are keen to work with the university and to deliver the efficiencies and services of their offering. I am convinced that the current shape of print services delivery will change considerably over the next few years and that CDS is the vehicle to drive that shape for us."

"The close working partnership between the DCDC Futures Team and the CDS Team was crucial to bring together the complex elements that make up the Global Strategic Trends sixth edition. We collaborated continuously throughout the production against a tight deadline with trust, integrity and good humour, to produce an excellent document and supporting film."

"CDS have enabled us to refresh our CMS technology with Episerver, and in so doing have provided us with a more robust, powerful and future-proofed platform to build on. We now have new improved search functionality, a fully responsive site and lightning-quick content publishing, as well as many other benefits. We’re looking forward to being able to further exploit the potential and develop on this platform with CDS."
