Jenko Owners Graham Jenkinson and Colin Wilson

Marketing, design and display company Jenko has helped one of its clients beat the recession with a staggering 65% sales growth for the past year.

 Varlink, a Yorkshire-based mobile computing and data capture product distributor, congratulated Jenko for its contribution towards the company achieving such outstanding results in 2008.Â

 Graham Jenkinson, Managing Director of Jenko, said:

 “Working with Varlink has been a truly cooperative project; it is one of Jenko’s strengths that we can support an in-house marketing team with our own skills and expertise to produce innovative ideas and techniques to promote their products. I am delighted they are succeeding at a time when many manufacturing businesses are suffering.”

 Mike Pullon, CEO of Varlink, said:

 “It is a spectacular achievement at a time of recession when many industries are in decline. We chose Jenko as our marketing and design agency five years ago, because we felt their creative design and marketing services integrated perfectly with our in-house marketing team. We have worked together on several innovative marketing outputs including a branded mini catalogue that allows our resellers to market our broad range of mobile computing technologies to a huge reseller base.”

Varlink made the announcement at a major ‘meet the manufacturer’ event in York last week which attracts visitors from across the UK and international exhibitors from Korea, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and USA.Â

Jenko Creative Director Colin Wilson said:

 “We are well aware of the pressures on our clients in the current economic climate and work closely with them to develop imaginative and cost effective solutions to win business and defend market share.”

Jenko was established twenty years ago and services a broad portfolio of clients from specialist SMEs to major international brands. It expanded its current base in Hull last year and has developed a full portfolio of marketing, PR, design and display services.
