TC Branding Group are pleased to announce the acquisition of Cre8tive Brand Ideas, the long established and prominent distributor based in the Midlands. We are also delighted that Cre8tive MD, Steve Cooke, will be joining the TC family as Regional Sales Director.
James Clark MD “Celebrating our 35th year in our industry, and navigating through a turbulent 18 months, I am delighted that we can once again look to grow and develop the business through expansion”
The acquisition supports TC Branding’s desire to meet our ambition to expand capacity, capabilities and market presence and ultimately benefit both TC and Cre8tive customers with improved performance and facilities, however preserving our award-winning service levels.
Mick Humphries Sales Director “I worked with Steve through the acquisition process and was immediately reassured that he and Cre8tive were the right fit for TC. Steve is on our wavelength and understands exactly what we’re trying to achieve here. He’s an affable character with the immense experience, knowledge and know-how to back it up.”
Steve Cooke of Cre8tive commented “after a challenging couple of years this was an opportunity not to be missed and after a few conversations with the Directors of TC, I was amazed at the amount of synergy there was between the two companies and I am wholeheartedly looking forward to my new role”.
The acquisition will provide a presence for TC in the midlands to reach out to our more Northerly clients and Cre8tive customers will benefit from our additional value-added services ranging from inhouse warehousing and fulfilment to artwork and design and now from 2022, offices and warehousing within Europe. All this, designed to further enhance the high level of service that Cre8tive customers have been accustomed to.
James Clark concluded by saying “We are really excited about our future, and very much look forward to working with Steve and his customers. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers, suppliers, and our staff for their loyalty over the years. It is very much appreciated! With this acquisition we will continue to build on our achievements, and I look forward to having you all on that journey”
