Deya, formerly known as Paul Spain Group Ltd, pioneered the out-sourced delivery of directories for BT Phone Books and Yellow Pages. In 1983 Deya became the first private company to be awarded a contract to distribute telephone directories in the UK.
Through a rapid expansion of its services during the 80's and 90's, Deya has worked for a wide range of customers across the retailing sector including Marks & Spencer, IKEA, Readers Digest and the major Cable companies.
Since then Deya has delivered over 500 million directories, catalogues and product samples using over 24,000 local organisers and more than 300,000 individual delivery contractors.
Originally based in a converted warehouse in Leeds, the company moved to central London in 1984. In 1989 the company moved to its current premises, a converted clockhouse in Wokingham.
