Case-studies: publishing

British Retail Consortium (BRC) is the leading trade association representing all retailers, from large multiples to independents and TSO has been providing publishing, design and print services to the BRC since 2002, playing an integral part in the success of the BRC Global Standards scheme.

Around 15,000 people per month take the Life in the UK test in order to gain British citizenship or permanent residence in the UK. TSO produces the only range of official Life in the UK publications for the Home Office, in a variety of easy-to-use formats, providing applicants with the information they need to help them pass the test.

The Gazettes are complex publications with over 5,000 customers placing more than 200,000 notices each year and TSO has worked closely with The National Archives to introduce a sophisticated electronic processing system, conforming to the e-government priority of opening up public data.
