BALL & DOGGETT ACQUIRES SIGN ESSENTIALS
Ball & Doggett is set to acquire Queenland’s biggest signage media and hardware supplier, Sign Essentials, with the deal set to be completed on 1 October.
Sign Essentials now part of Ball & Doggett: (l-r) Stephen Harding, Helen Harding, David Strange, Sean Strange, Luke Wilkinson – Ball & Doggett CEO – and Paul Hardi
Established in 1991 Sign Essentials is a privately owned and operated family business, based in Geebung, QLD, specialising in the distribution of a wide range of sign, display and digital products including hardware, media, servicing and parts.
Sign Essentials moved to its current 2000sqm premises six years ago, doubling its former floorspace. It will continue to operate independently in Queensland from the site.
Ball & Doggett CEO Luke Wilkinson said, “We are delighted to welcome Sign Essentials into the Ball & Doggett Group, a company that aligns with our core values and commitment to the sign, display and digital market.”
Sean Strange, general manager at Sign Essentials, said, “This is an exciting next step in the Sign Essentials journey. Ball & Doggett has the resources and infrastructure to take the business forward, which will ultimately provide greater value to customers, suppliers and staff. We are excited about what the future holds”.
Part of the Ovol Japan Pulp & Paper Group of companies, Ball & Doggett is Australia’s largest distributor of printable materials and consumables. The company says this acquisition “further solidifies” Ball & Doggett’s commitment to the sign, display and digital market.
