Halstead quarterly review

Transcript

1. 00:00Alex RiversBefore we get into the schedule, I want to talk about arrival dates. We raised it in April, we raised it in May, and it has got worse.
2. 00:14Tom BlakeI understand the frustration. The bindery capacity work is scheduled, we are looking at completion within the quarter.
3. 00:38Alex RiversThat is the same commitment I was given last quarter. What is different this time?
4. 00:52Tom BlakeThe difference is the second folding line in Leeds is now funded. It was not funded when we last spoke.
5. 01:19Alex RiversAnd if it slips again? We have a renewal decision to make and I cannot keep asking editorial to absorb this.
6. 01:36Tom BlakeI would ask you not to make a renewal decision on a single measure. Our print quality record is strong.
7. 02:04Alex RiversQuality is not the problem. The problem is that subscribers read the issue after they have seen it on the newsstand.
8. 02:22Tom BlakeUnderstood. I will send you the Leeds timeline in writing by the end of the week.
