We are sad to hear of the passing away of David Tauber after a battle with cancer. Many will have known David from Totnoll Promotions, which he started in 1977 and then sold 20 years later.
David was fascinated with the Apple Mac in the mid 80’s and recognised its leading-edge capabilities.

Technology has freed distributors to sell more promotional products, says Sourcing Machine’s Charlene Barbarino.
All distributors have had the call from one of their clients who want a promotional product but are not sure what and need a load of ideas to be sent to them. With thousands of products available, it’s often difficult to know where to start. In the past, there were two options. You could send the latest catalogue and wait a couple of days for it to arrive.
