document management solutions
based in Victoria, London, has
acquired Corporate Information &

provider of telecoms and network

Corona Managing Director James
Stephens said: “There are lots of synergies
between the two businesses. Most
importantly, we both operate with a high
customer focus striving to provide the best
possible service to corporate customers.
We are very excited about this acquisition
as it establishes us in the telecoms sector

London. Turnover is forecast to top £10m
next year.
Spicers offers reassurance
to dealers over Office Team
acquisition
Office supplies wholesaler Spicers has written a letter to
reassure dealer customers after its owner, Better Capital,
acquired Office Team.
Spicers acknowledges that some customers might see the relationship
between Spicers and Office Team as a threat, but says that they have
nothing to fear as the two companies will continue to operate separately
and independently.
In a statement, the wholesaler stated: “Spicers places paramount
value on the integrity of its commercial relationships. Any commercially
sensitive information including data provided by any customer is used
only for the purposes of that customer relationship and not for anything
else. It follows therefore that there is no question of Spicers disclosing
sensitive information in respect of any Dealer, including in relation to
that Dealer’s own customer relationships, to any third party or related
company, including to any other company within the Better Capital
portfolio.”
Spicers argues that the addition of Office Team to the group could
actually have benefits to its dealer partners, as it will enable it to leverage
the buying power of both organisations and learn from Office Team’s
experience in the development of new initiatives that bring real added
value to dealers.
