We’re looking forward to welcoming the management and field teams and driving the business forward in the coming weeks and months. Throughout our discussions it’s been clear both parties wanted to achieve the same end goal and will be working closely to ensure a smooth transition. All staff will be part of the transition process and we look forward to continuing to supply the same great service to Dee Set’s customers and our own. The benefits for both staff and customers are significant as it allows us to offer wider opportunities to our existing and new teams and continue to improve service levels across the wider customer base. This deal is in line with our strategic plan and gives us a great platform for further growth and expansion of our service offering.”
