The first project under the new partnership saw APS supporting Transport for London’s rebrand of the London Cycle Hire scheme following a sponsorship change from Barclays to Santander.

Working with Santander’s brand agency M&C Saatchi, APS advised on the full end-to-end process including design, production, delivery, fulfilment and post.

APS says the job was completed inside just four weeks and 50% under budget, and it will continue to produce welcome packs for the scheme for the remainder of Serco’s contract with TFL.

Tim Aggett, business development manager at APS Group, said: “Winning a competitive tender for a partnership with a FTSE 250 client like Serco is testament to the high quality, end-to-end marketing solutions APS delivers for clients.

“We look forward to developing a real partnership with Serco over the next few years.”

APS also works with brands including Ford, adidas, Philips, and Superdrug owner AS Watson.

Chris de Souza, from Santander Cycles, added: “I have to say I am absolutely amazed with how well APS Group has performed. There was a huge risk to reputation with this project but we needn’t have worried. It is clear that APS Group knows what it is doing and it does it very well.”
