William Jones Clifton and Mark C Brown MD is taking part in 'Movember' in support of testicular cancer

Kiran D Mistry, the MD of stamp makers William Jones Clifton and Mark C Brown, has agreed to get involved with the Mo-phenomenon in support of testicular cancer and turn himself into a 'Mo Bro' for the month of November.

Movember was originally formed by a group of men from Australia in 1999 and has since grown into a global worldwide movement. The Movember Charity encourages men to grow moustaches (mos) for one month to raise funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer.

Mistry said: "As well as famous sporting and movie people from around the world taking part in this event, there are a lot of men from within our own industry who also "grow the mo" to show support for this worthwhile cause. I am proud to stand amongst them"

Jane Scott, sales and marketing manager, said: "As well as Kiran growing his first ever moustache, we are also raising money for the charity by offering to make personalised mugs showing pictures of the hairy faces before the big shave-off at the end of the November. All profits from the sales, as well as a one-off donation, will go the charity".

In other news, Mark C Brown and William Jones Clifton
reported successful feedback from its customer survey.

The survey asked customers to report on some simple aspects to business sales such as telephone manner.
Survey participants were also asked to state what would be the one factor that may prompt them to look for an alternative stamp supplier, and, although there was no one top answer in this section, the three main reasons were evenly spread between customer service issues, pricing and quality of product.

Jane Scott, sales and marketing manager, said: "I am so pleased we decided to do this. It's all very well saying that we pride ourselves on excellent customer service but rather than just make a bold statement we wanted to prove it. The survey allowed us to do that.

"We are absolutely delighted that we came out with top marks for our competence and helpfulness and everyone who responded said they would recommend us to other OP dealers, but we learned that we needed to ramp up our after-care standards. "
