What Our Clients Have to Say

Testimonials

Torsten Koehler – Deutsche Schule Kapstadt

During my time at DSK, we always required 3 quotations for print jobs. Source Corporation was consistently best deal when it comes to the price. Besides that, I had the proof print within 24 hours and every job was delivered on time! A superb service!

Reg Wall, Pigs Cant Fly

I was introduced to Dean Fourie of Source Corporation in 2011, in 2012 I published “Pigs can’t Fly” and the book “came to life” after a huge amount of advice, input and ideas from Dean, I have added to the original printing a number of times and have always received the same level of courteous and efficient service.

When I published “Property Watch” in 2017, a very different commercial publication, Dean’s input and particularly patience was a major factor in getting the book to print.

I am contemplating a third publication, Dean and Source Corporation will again be called upon for advice and guidance.

Aldo Brincat – Author “Diamonds Alive”

Mr Fourie came to my rescue when I had trouble printing, and publishing my book in 2017. Not only did he salvage a potentially traumatic and devastating situation, he went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that my publication, and delivery of 2000 books was done in an excellent manner, and on time. Since then, I have referred much work to Mr Fourie, ranging from simple business cards, to art catalogues; Mr Fourie has delivered with great aplomb on every occasion. I cannot recommend his services enough! He is my touchtone on all matters of publication, printing, and artistic design. Aldo Brincat
