CLC World Report Summary
The main focus of our work is the distribution warehouse, which has grown significantly although the work has also become more complex. The warehouse is very full, and we have faced the double pressures of trying to reduce stock levels as well as supplying an ever widening range of stock more efficiently.
We took the decision to install a Print-on Demand facility in our warehouse. Inevitably, a lot of attention and energy was dedicated to the project, but it was completed by the end of 2023. We trust that this facility will be of great benefit to publishers so that they can hold smaller quantities of their titles and reprint them on a regular basis. It is clear that an increasing proportion of the books we distribute are sold online - well over 50% - and so it is an area in which we need to excel.
Our work at events and conferences grew significantly, and we were able to host a mini tour by Gary Chapman promoting the Five Love Language series of books. The two conferences that we organize - ‘Mission Worship’ and ‘Hand in-Hand’ - were held as physical events again after three years online.
We published a book on the important topic of infertility titled The Wait, and it was one of the first books to come off the Print-on-Demand equipment.
