Nursery World - Company profile

Sue Smart is director of marketing for LFC, the catalogue company that has been supplying schools and libraries with books and furniture for over 12 years. She is particularly proud of launching Kids & Things, the company's range of resources, books and furniture aimed at nurseries and primary schools. 'We launched Kids & Things in 1997,' says Sue, 'and it has grown this year to nearly 200 pages that include everything from literacy resources to arts and crafts, science, music, numeracy, seating and storage. We were also the first to stock book and puppet sets, and that has now grown into a really popular resource with children and teachers - many other companies have followed suit.'
