LOCAL FIRM SIGNS AND SEALS BUSINESS ACQUISITION
A Midlands-based direct marketing company is celebrating substantial business growth, following the successful completion of a merger.
Send Marketing Solutions, based in Aldridge, has used its continuing success to integrate Derbyshire-based direct mail firm, Seal & Send, which will now move to Send’s headquarters.
The move will initially create four new jobs for the region, but this could potentially lead to a further ten jobs being created over the next 12 months.
The acquisition comes after a sustained period of success for Send, which has an impressive client list, including Halfords Autocentres, Fujifilm and Sytner BMW.
Guy Chatburn, Send Managing Director, is delighted that the deal has been completed and believes it will see the company go from strength to strength.
“Seal & Send’s levels of service and quality are very well respected by their clients, and we aim to build on that by offering them our additional expertise in areas such as, digital colour print, consumer profiling, data analysis and customer insight,” said Guy.
“The move brings us opportunities with a range of great new companies. Our aim is to demonstrate our array of solutions, so that we can retain and expand our business arrangements,” Guy added.
The expansion will see Send create the new role of Commercial Director, which will be filled by Seal & Send’s Peter Robinson.
“I was delighted when the opportunity arose to join forces with Send - a like-minded mailing operation with a similar reputation for high quality service. This development brings the facilities and benefits of a larger operation for all of our customers, whilst still mainlining the same levels of personal, one-to-one contact,” said Peter.
“Teaming up with Send has given us more capacity in all areas of the business, and I believe that the move will enable the company to go from strength to strength in the future,” Peter added.
The company now expects to attract over 200 new clients in the forthcoming year, through its ‘Send4Less’ mailing service, which offers a complete mailing package from just 30p - 6 pence less than the price of a stamp.
