taylor’s purchase means it is buying the assets of one of its largest customers . taylor corp . has provided behind - the - scenes contract services for the massachusetts - based staples print solutions for years .
citing these stare decisis concerns , taylor sought to intervene as of right , or , in the alternative , by permission of the district court . the district court denied these motions . taylor now appeals .
taylor communications is committed to doing business the right way and upholding ethical practices across our organization . we expect the same from our supplier partners . our code of conduct provides an overview of our expectations from all parties . in addition , we support the california transparency in supply chains act .
the deals are the latest acquisitions by taylor corp . , which is a holding company for many of the diversified holdings of billionaire businessman glen taylor . it has more than 80 companies and 9 , 000 workers .
glen taylor also owns the star tribune , as well as the minnesota timberwolves and lynx professional basketball teams .
taylor also had an interconnection agreement with southwestern bell , separate and distinct from that of time warner . that agreement was the subject of a different administrative review which was still pending at the time southwestern bell filed suit . after southwestern bell filed suit , taylor sought to intervene . taylor asserts that its agreement with southwestern bell is factually distinguishable from that of time warner . nevertheless , taylor asserts that the determination whether calls to isp ' s are local in the time warner case would necessarily become precedent in taylor ' s pending administrative conflict with southwestern bell .

standard register , which has 3 , 500 employees , gives the north mankato company product lines that include printed forms and communications services in the fields of health care , commercial business , financial services and industrial markets .
our espy holding is factually distinguishable from the case at bar . in espy , a ruling contrary to the position of the timber industry was certain to affect the already - existing contracts . that is not the case here . in the case before us , a ruling in favor of southwestern bell ' s position might adversely affect taylor ' s position , but not necessarily . taylor concedes this point in its arguments to this court . first , in its brief , taylor addresses the fourth requirement for intervention as of right , that the movants interests must be inadequately represented by the existing parties to the suit . in arguing that time warner could not adequately represent taylor ' s interests , taylor notes “ [ a ] s a result of the difference in the negotiation postures of the respective interconnection agreements , time warner cannot assert certain claims and defenses available to taylor . ” 9 in short , taylor ' s agreement with southwestern bell is factually distinct from time warner ' s agreement with southwestern bell . it would be pure speculation to say that a judicial pronouncement as to the time warner case would necessarily affect taylor ' s agreement with southwestern bell . because the cases are factually different , the resulting application of existing law may necessitate a different result . taylor ' s counsel conceded this point at oral argument , stating taylor “might not be bound” by the district court ' s decision in this case . in essence , taylor seeks to intervene as of right in litigation which taylor concedes may have no impact on its contract with southwestern bell . taylor has no such right .
taylor offers production methods at every price level , from economical digitally printed items to high - end engraved or embossed products .
taylor corp . subsequently negotiated a deal with silver point to pay $ 2 million over its bid , according to court filings .
taylor ' s motion to intervene was filed three weeks after southwestern bell had initiated the underlying proceedings in district court . at that point the district court had taken little substantive action on the matter . further , both tpuc and time warner concede that taylor ' s motion was timely filed . southwestern bell contends that the motion was untimely as premature , not as delinquent . southwestern bell ' s argument that taylor filed its motion prior to the adjudication by the tpuc of its own dispute with southwestern bell goes to the issue of whether taylor has an interest in the proceedings , not toward the issue of timeliness . taylor ' s motion is therefore timely .
the move downtown will make it easier for taylor to attract younger workers , he said . he does not expect taylor to have much of a food operation at its new offices , which may bode well for downtown restaurants and small businesses , he also said .

taylor corp . has agreed to buy 10 commercial printing facilities belonging to giant office - products retailer staples , company officials announced wednesday .
taylor communications is seeking a customer service supervisor - promotional marketing to be located in dayton , ohio . the customer service supervisor - promotional marketing is responsible for establishing and maintaining positive internal and external customer interactions . this is to include coaching customer service representatives , assisting with customer resolution , building rapport with internal customers , and identifying process improvement opportunities to enhance the customer experience .
taylor asserts that its negotiating posture in agreeing to the contract differs markedly from that of time warner . taylor further asserts that it has claims and defenses with regard to its contract which are not available to time warner . taylor makes these assertions based on a belief that the facts surrounding the taylor contract are so different from those surrounding the time warner contract as to possibly bring about a different result . yet at the same time , taylor contends that intervening in the underlying litigation will not cause undue delay . again , we cannot see how litigating facts that are wholly unrelated to the underlying litigation can be achieved without causing undue delay to the parties involved in the suit . in seeking to bring the litigation to an expeditious close , the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying taylor ' s motion for permissive intervention .
the print and digital communications company says it will relocate some of its workforce from albany street into the 11 - story building at 111 w . first st . , which is well - known for the large “111” lettering on its west wall .

standard register was founded in 1912 . at the time taylor acquired it , it had 3 , 500 workers , including about 850 in dayton .
the standard register co . , which taylor corp . bought last june for $ 307 million , also will be part of the new subsidiary .
ford weber , city of dayton development director , said taylor will leave some 90 services and production workers at the company’s historic albany street location .
taylor will receive a $ 500 , 000 grant from montgomery county and a $ 500 , 000 grant from the city’s development fund , the release states .
the order of the district court denying taylor ' s motion for intervention as of right , or , in the alternative , permissive intervention , is affirmed .
while standard register has encountered financial challenges , i have no doubt its best days are ahead ,
said deb taylor , taylor corp . ' s ceo .

taylor communications takes great pride in our ability to create economic and business value for our customers and supplier partners . to achieve this , we strategically align our organization with industry - leading suppliers who share our commitment to always finding “a better way” to help us serve our customers and where applicable , support our diversity programs . in doing so , we create relationships that are designed to enhance our value to customers while adding strength to our company and our supplier partner organizations .
the newly combined company at the time of taylor’s acquisition had more than 12 , 000 employees working in more than 80 companies with operations in 32 states and nine countries .
taylor has been a family - owned business since 1975 , transforming one small business into a second - generation interactive print and marketing solutions provider that spans over 40 years .

taylor will lease eight floors at 111 w . first st . , with plans to move in by this fall . more than 700 people will be employed at the two locations .
taylor is one of the largest label suppliers in north america , printing more than 15 million labels each day for a wide range of durable , retail and distribution , healthcare and food packaging applications .
having determined that taylor does not have an interest in the underlying litigation sufficient to meet the second requirement for intervention as of right , we need not address the third and fourth requirements outlined above .
the deeper you know your customer base , the more relevant your communication can be . by applying the right analysis tools , taylor helps you better understand and target customer personas through their dominant demographic characteristics .
both 111 w . first st , taylor’s new downtown address , and 600 albany st . are within dayton city limits . “which we are very pleased to see , ” weber said with a laugh .
taylor is one of the world’s largest producers of gift , loyalty and membership cards . we combine strategy , creativity and technology to develop card programs with secure data management processes to engage and protect your consumers .
from strategy and concept to design , production and installation , taylor offers a broad array of internal and external signage and graphics to help you connect with consumers , visitors , members and patients across all locations .
in analyzing the facts of this case , we conclude that , unlike the appellants in the espy case , taylor ' s interest in the underlying litigation is too speculative and general to support intervention as of right .
for more than 40 years , taylor has been helping companies , big and small , identify , create , implement smart solutions that make it easier for them to do what matters most — position their business for success .
to answer this question we must first address the necessary preliminary issue : what is the property or transaction which is the subject of the action ? taylor is seeking to intervene in litigation between southwestern bell ( the plaintiff ) and time warner and tpuc ( the defendants ) . the subject of the litigation is tpuc ' s interpretation of a provision in a contract between southwestern bell and time warner . does taylor have an interest in this dispute ?

“we are excited that taylor continues to make a commitment to dayton and the region , ” said mayor nan whaley in a statement . “this is a company with deep roots in our community , and we look forward to having them in dayton for decades to come . ”
taylor asserts that the district court abused its discretion in denying taylor ' s motion for permissive intervention . permissive intervention is governed by federal rule of civil procedure 24 ( b ) , which states , in pertinent part : “upon timely application anyone may be permitted to intervene in an action ․ when an applicant ' s claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common . in exercising its discretion the court shall consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties . ”
from our total rewards benefits package to our commitments to diversity , recognition , career development and shared vision and set of values , taylor takes a people - centered stance to everything we do . it’s a bold , unusual viewpoint for a multinational firm , but we believe it is fundamental to our success .
taylor asserts that this analysis is controlled by our opinion in sierra club v . espy . 7 espy involved a motion to intervene filed by two forest industry trade associations , seeking intervention in litigation between three environmental organizations and the secretary of agriculture . this court held that the movants had “legally protectable property interests in existing timber contracts ․ threatened by the potential bar on even - aged management . ” 8 taylor contends that it , similarly , has a legally protectable property interest in its contract with southwestern bell which is threatened by a potential finding that calls to isp ' s are not subject to the reciprocity agreement .
prior to joining the company in 2016 , she was executive vice president , global advertising , marketing and digital partnerships at american express . after joining american express in 2005 , leslie led a global team responsible for creating marketplace demand and driving commerce through differentiated products , marketing , and customer experiences globally . as a member of the company’s global management team , leslie oversaw advertising , media , sponsorships , content , brand identity , and digital partnerships . earlier in her career , leslie led pr and online communications strategies for global brands on the agency side .
find the opportunity and security you need to succeed . whether you are considering a career move or looking to secure your first job , we understand that a company’s rewards and benefits play a key part . taylor’s total rewards package of employee benefits and compensation reflects our bold commitment to creating opportunity and security for employees .
deb received a master of business administration degree from the university of new hampshire and undergraduate degree from franklin pierce university . she has a strong background and experience in strategy , finance , technology and people practices . prior to joining taylor , she began her business career at liberty mutual , headquartered in boston , mass .
taylor contends that , because the motion to intervene was timely filed , granting the motion for permissive intervention will not unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the underlying litigation . one does not necessarily follow the other . in analyzing the issue of intervention as of right , we have discussed the manner by which a broad definition of “interest” can lead to unmanageable litigation . our analysis of “undue delay” leads us to the same conclusion .
taylor understands that your career is only one part of your life . we believe in helping our employees strike a healthy work - life balance . we strive to offer flexibility and options , such as the north mankato childcare center created exclusively for our area employees , and the fact that many of our firms offer telecommuting options . through our companies , we also offer a variety of wellness programs that promote experiences to enhance healthy lifestyle choices and overall well - being .
to intervene as of right , taylor must meet four prerequisites : ( 1 ) the application for intervention must be timely ; ( 2 ) the applicant must have an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action ; ( 3 ) the applicant must be so situated that the disposition of the action may , as a practical matter , impair his ability to protect that interest ; ( 4 ) the applicant ' s interest must be inadequately represented by the existing parties to the suit . 5 failure to meet any one of these requirements is fatal to a claim of intervention as of right . 6

for more than 100 years , standard register was the name of the document and business services company based in dayton .
she added : “this decision was made after carefully considering standard register’s 103 - year history in our industry . we are very proud to have this organization as a part of our family of companies . we believe this change more clearly states who we are and our ability to offer some of the most expansive set of products and services in the industry .
“in the coming months , you will begin to see outward changes , ” she added . “but you can expect our focus will continue to be on excellence as usual . ”
about a year ago , standard register sought chapter 11 bankruptcy protection . that filing came after the company’s acquisition of local rival workflowone , which began in late 2013 .
total costs of the restructuring tied to the workflowone acquisition were to reach about $ 30 . 4 million , the company said at the time .
but the company had also been hampered by years of declining sales , the cost of sales , labor , rent , freight , and supply chain expenses and more .
in may 2013 , standard register attempted something troubled companies sometimes attempt : a reverse stock split . every five shares of standard register’s common and class a stock were converted to one share , reducing the number of outstanding shares and raising the value of each individual share .
the effect was immediate — and temporary . shares closed at 71 cents one day and were trading at $ 3 . 25 the next afternoon .
by july 2014 , however , the nyse warned standard register — for the second time since 2012 — that its share values were low enough to risk possible de - listing from the exchange .

by increasing the frequency of sapphire services 480 and 490 to run to and from valley drive every 7 or 8 minutes , we are able to give riverview park more buses by routeing alternate sapphire buses from valley drive via st . hilda ' s way to riverview park , instead of continuing to mackenzie way .
this will double the number of buses serving riverview park and will bring the benefits of our sapphire service to the area with buses that have free on - board wi - fi , three - pin and usb power points next to each seat , next - stop audio - visual displays and eco - leather seats .

there will be some changes to the services that run through northfleet , incorporating more frequent buses on some routes and alterations to the route and number of others .
one of the main changes is that sapphire services 480 and 490 will be increased in frequency to give a bus every seven or eight minutes between greenhithe , swanscombe , northfleet , gravesend and valley drive .
beyond greenhithe they will also run more frequently – every fifteen minutes to dartford and every fifteen minutes to bluewater .
at valley drive , alternate buses will either run every fifteen minutes via st . hilda’s way to riverview park , or every fifteen minutes to the existing terminus at mackenzie way .
with the late night and early morning service 480 / 490 buses already proving popular we are introducing extra buses during the middle of the night so that the service will run twenty - four hours a day , seven days a week , giving a two - hourly service between dartford , bluewater , gravesend and valley drive through the early hours .
following the trial use of double - deck buses to sapphire specification on these routes , we will be adding another four such buses to the fleet for the 9th august changes , all fitted with free on - board wi - fi , next - stop audio - visual displays , three - pin and usb power sockets next to each seat and eco - leather seating .
you can view the new sapphire 480 / 490 map here . brand - new buses for fastrack the times of fastrack b through northfleet will be largely unchanged but the peak - time frequency on mondays to fridays will be increased so that buses will run every nine minutes , retaining the ten - minute service for the main part of the day . brand - new low - carbon buses will be entering service on fastrack b during july , bringing additional features to the route , such as three - pin and usb power points by each seat , eco - leather seating , full rear destination and service number displays as well as free on - board wi - fi and next - stop audio - visual displays .
other services in the northfleet area the route of services 306 / 308 will be shortened so that they will run only between gravesend , meopham , borough green and sevenoaks . they will , however , continue to serve northfleet , swanscombe and bluewater during the evening and on sundays . for details of major changes to the routes and service numbers of services 495 , 496 , 498 and 499 through the perry street , coldharbour , durndale farm , painters ash , pepper hill , springhead and castle hill areas of northfleet , please see details under the ‘coldharbour , painters ash , pepper hill and perry street’ tab .

with last year’s event proving to have more than twice the number of buses there had been at the past five rallies before that , many enthusiasts had high expectations for this year’s event , especially with this year being promoted as happy harold’s 90th birthday celebration . did the event deliver ?
in terms of buses , last year’s event had only just a few more vehicles than this year , but there was thankfully still a great range of buses of differing ages , ranging from the aforementioned 90 year old trolleybus ‘happy harold’ to an example of a 2017 wave branded scania mmc that belongs to the yn67 batch . perhaps the only notable absentees this year were rambler of hastings and paul houselander’s open top bristol vr rvb977s , but paul more than certainly made up for it with what he brought in replacement of it -
, an ex stagecoach alexander rl volvo olympian that has not been out at a rally for almost two years after entering preservation . we had almost given up hope on it , so it was a very special surprise when it appeared and something we were not expecting at all !
a total of 28 vehicles attended this year’s event . photo is copyright of michael amos .
above : at the end of the day , there was a beautiful lineup of classic preserved ex - stagecoach vehicles . from left to right is preserved ex stagecoach alexander rl bodied volvo olympian n386lpn , preserved ex stagecoach alexander rl bodied volvo olympian n389lpn and preserved ex stagecoach alexander ps bodied volvo b10m l345kck . photo is copyright of michael amos .
plenty of cars were also on display at the event and there were plenty of stands with a decent variety of models . everyone who helped to organise the event deserves a pat on the back as many smiling faces were spotted around the venue . i think we can all agree that happy harold had a lovely 90th birthday party !
this is my article on a great day out at the 2018 south east bus festival on 7th april 2018 . i hope you enjoy reading ! -
above : preserved northern counties bodied dennis dominator 15032 h132gvm , now owned by the town and district transport trust , is seen on display at the event .
in terms of preserved buses , there were many first timers in addition to many of the regulars , including the aforementioned h132gvm , the recently repainted g29tgw and the recently acquired l345kck , an alexander ps volvo b10m that i had the pleasure of travelling on to the event . but the star of the show - in my opinion at least - was n389lpn , a recently preserved alexander rl bodied volvo olympian that has been repainted into the stunning stagecoach stripes livery .
above : privately preserved alexander rl volvo olympian 389 n389lpn is seen on display at the event .
above : an impressive display of buses and coaches is seen at the event . believe it or not , this was just one of several rows of vehicles !
away from the buses themselves , the event had a great selection of bus memorabilia in the clive emson conference centre ; there was what seemed like an infinite amount of bus models , old timetables and pictures to choose from and buy , not to mention the very well laid out model displays . plenty of food outlets were also available to cater for the large numbers of people . all areas of the event worked together to create an excellent day out . with the display numbering up to 150 vehicles and all other aspects being very well organised , detling can definitely be described as one of the best days out there is for a bus enthusiast .
being held in the middle of winter in rochester , the 20 years of nu - venture in the medway towns bus rally was a welcome event that helped to keep bus enthusiasts satisfied while the official rally season is not taking place . i was accompanied to the event by sebeg members harry h & harry p and his dad while good friend of ours , george green kindly took us up in his preserved dennis dominator n715tpk . sadly alex was not able to come on this particular occassion .
first of all , the change in venue for this year’s event must be commended . while i did not attend last winter’s high floor running day in medway , i was able to gather from pictures that the event was held outside gillingham asda , and the buses were just lined up at the bus stop behind the supermarket . this year , the organisers wisely moved the venue to acorn wharf coach park in rochester , which is more of a proper setting for a bus rally , and this change in venue meant that more buses could attend .

the event programme itself was a lovely souvenir to take away from this rally , but i did have a little bit of trouble finding out where they were being sold , resulting in me having to ask several people . a sign telling visitors where the event programmes were being sold would have been welcome . in addition to this , i would liked to have seen more bus models being sold ; i could only find one stand that only had a handful of models for sale , which is small when compared to other rallies i have been to .
but , to be completely honest , i am nitpicking at this point ; this rally was extremely well organised , and it had a great variety of vehicles on display and on the road . the organisers must be given a huge pat on the back for making this event such a success , and i would love to see it return in the years to come so it can become a holiday tradition for many enthusiasts .
good evening all . over the past week or so , and yet to come there have been many interesting , exciting and also rather sad movements across the stagecoach south east division . we have combined and put together a clear list of all of these movements which can be seen below . this is not limited to but includes twelve brand new adl enviro 400mmc bodied scania n250ud double decks which are due to enter service in a few weeks on wave service 99 between hastings and eastbourne . it is believed eastbourne will have three of these , with hastings having nine . we hope you find this list of the latest and soon upcoming movements useful , and if you have any queries or comments feel free to contact us . please bear in mind that although some of these movements have already taken place , and some vehicles are already in service at certain places , some of these have not yet taken place and are unlikely to at least until the new scanias enter service .
the fleetlist pages will also be updated accordingly for each depot in the near future . if we know of any updates or alterations , we will update you all where we can !
we hope this update is helpful and of use to our viewers . thank you very much for reading and we hope you all have a great weekend .
hello all ! firstly , thank you to all those who brought along your lovely vehicles , visited the event , or helped to organise the hastings trolleybus restoration group’s bus rally on sunday , 21st of may . it was a fantastic day with a smile on most people’s faces with very positive comments passing around the grounds ! the lovely weather certainly encouraged people to come and also the appearance of hastings trolleybus’ happy harold dy4965 . a very impressive total of 36 buses and coaches attended on the day , including some rather far travellers . the event would not have been as great as it was , had it have not been for everyone that played an important role there today so we thank you all . we really hope next year is just as great of a success and we have every confidence that it will be ! we hope you all enjoyed yourselves and had a good time ! if you did not manage to come to the event this year , we have compiled a list below of all the buses and coaches that came along to hastings bus rally 2017 . - alex fairweather , the sebeg
