Bellerbys College delivers a lesson
in mail management with Neopost
Bellerbys Educational Services
operates four colleges for
international students in
the UK including a Brighton
campus teaching students
from over 120 different
countries. Students can study
a GCSE Pathway Programme,
A level subjects or a
Foundation Year course for
university entry.
They looked to Neopost for
a quick and efficient solution
to handle over 400 items of
mail posted by the College
each week.

“We chose the IS-480 as it comes with Mailmark
TM
technology, the latest generation of franking from
Royal Mail. We can be sure that Mailmark offers us
the lowest franking prices and will give us access
to future Royal Mail services.”

THE CHALLENGE
With 900 students and 450 staff,
Bellerbys College in Brighton
generates a lot of mail with over
400 items a week being posted.
Andzelika Bendoraityte, the Reception
Manager responsible for postal
services explains, “Three staff are on
reception at any one time and part
of their responsibilities is to process
the outgoing post. This includes
mail from our finance department,
student reports and certificates, so
it’s important that these items are
processed quickly
and efficiently.”
To process outgoing post Bellerbys
used a Neopost DS-60 folder inserter
and a Neopost IS-430 franking
machine. “They were both good
machines, but we were coming to
the end of the five year lease on the
equipment, so it was time to review
our options”, Andzelika confirms.
THE PROCESS
“We have been a Neopost customer
for ten years, but at the end of the
lease we decided to look at other
suppliers, as part of best practice.
However, Neopost had a lot of positive
points in its favour. The account
management we receive has always
been very good and the servicing is
excellent. If we place a service call an
engineer is on site the same day or
early the next day.”
After reviewing the market Bellerbys
College decided to take a new lease
on updated Neopost equipment.
“Neopost came up with a tailored
package for us that not only saved
us money, but gave us brand new
equipment.
We appreciated that Neopost wanted
to keep our business and that they
were treating us as a valued customer
and not taking us for granted because
we had been with them for a long
time.”
THE SOLUT ION
For folding and inserting, Neopost
provided the DS-63 folder inserter
which can fill up to 2,200 envelopes
an hour and fold up to five documents
in tri-fold format. The exclusive
FlexFeed
®
feeder mechanism handles
just about any insert size or type
including A4, A5, leaflets, postcards
or envelopes. The Neopost Load ‘N
Go
®
feature automatically measures
envelopes and enclosures, sets the
folds to match and gets on with the
job when the user presses start.
For mail franking Neopost supplied
the Mailmark
TM
ready IS-480 mailing
system which eliminates the manual
task of sorting mail by size, thickness,
or weight. Envelopes of various
sizes and formats can be loaded
together into the self-aligning feeder,
then by pressing start the IS-480
will automatically seal and frank
envelopes at a rate of 150 letters
per minute.
