United Rentals takes Tier 2 to Tier 1
NITED RENTALS is committed to creating a better external focus by playing a part in the economic de- velopment of our communities. They believe that to build a successful Supplier Diversity program there has to be a partnership with goals that are aligned to their mission statement: to provide our customers with excep- tional service, quality equipment and suppliers, professional training and assistance, and information technolo- gies that help them succeed. They proactively seek diverse suppliers that they can partner with who help achieve those goals while growing the business.
U
An example of that success is their partnership with Sir Speedy Print- ing of Bloomfield, CT. Sir Speedy
is an independently-owned minority business certified by the Greater New England Minority Supplier Devel- opment Council (GNEMSDC). Sir Speedy has been servicing a diversi- fied customer base from the same location for over twenty-five years. Mark Jacobs and his team provide a wide range of services including marketing, graphic design, print- ing, copying, scanning, archiving, mailing & fulfillment, posters, ban- ners and promotional items. “We were introduced to Mark by one of our strategic print suppliers, Al- lied Printing out of Manchester, CT,” says Jamie Crump, Director of Indirect Strategic Sourcing & Sup- plier Diversity for United Rentals (
http://www.alliedprinting.com/).
“They were a tier 2 supplier for Al- lied and although we were thrilled about the partnership, we wanted tier 1 spend. Both companies got it and worked to put together a partnership that gave Mark’s company a direct billing relationship. We have been very satisfied with the results.” For more information on Bloomfield’s Sir Speedy, contact them at (860) 242-0303 or
