THE region's biggest independent leaflet distribution firm is seeking national clients in a drive to expand.

Amaro, in Blaydon, Newcastle, is the market leader in door-to-door distributing, but is seeking bigger, nationally-based clients who need wide-scale distribution across the region.

Company boss Robert Greener said: "We have the flexibility and back-up to cope with a major increase in business activity.

"Our business plan envisages our turnover quadrupling by 2004, and there is no reason why that cannot be achieved."

The new regime, introduced in consultation with business development experts 9P Modular Marketing, involves employing a general manager and the launch of a targeted marketing campaign.
