BBT Group swoops for Oakham
Coventry-based BBT Group has bought rival business Oakham Business Systems.
BBT Group, a supplier of office copier and print products, purchased the Preston-based company for an undisclosed sum. The Co-operative Bank provided finance.
The Coventry company, which opened an office at Salford Quays earlier this year, said the deal would boost its presence in the North West.
"Oakham Business Systems has a great reputation with very loyal customers and is an excellent fit for our business," said Philip Runciman, director of BBT Group.
"The acquisition offers Oakham clients an expanded portfolio of products and services including document management and managed print services."
BBT Group has a turnover of about £6m and employs 50 staff.
Runciman added: "This is an exciting time for the business as we grow our nationwide offering and extend our presence in the North West."
