Office products supplier JPM Deflect-o has signed on a new team member who is certain to prove popular with customers.

Trainee seeing eye dog Dora will be spending the next nine months in the company of her

primary carer at JPM, Wendy Talbot, and will be seen out and about at client meetings and in store visits.

Talbot told Stationery News the staff and management of JPM wanted to give something back to the community and contacted the Seeing Eye Dog Association about sponsoring a puppy.

As part of the program, Dora will be schooled in many aspects of daily life under full-time supervision.

"It is very expensive to raise and train a seeing eye dog and we really appreciate the support of JPM managing director, Geoff Balsillie," Talbot said 

Established in 1975, JPM  is a privately-owned Australian importer, manufacturer and distributor supplying over 1500 outlets throughout Australia and New Zealand with a broad range of hardware, office and display products.
