Displayways has bought-out Mintsource Visual Communications. MD Rob Kelly said: “Since my partner Peter Sheldrick and I purchased Displayways in the summer of 2012 we have embarked upon an investment programme in people, processes and equipment designed to create the foundations for growth. The acquisition of Mintsource fits perfectly with our strategy to grow our market share at the bespoke end of the display graphics market.
Guildford-based Mintsource has operated in the consultancy, management and production of events and large-format display solutions for the past 12 years. Founder Sue Woods, who has previously held directorships and senior management positions with the likes of Service Graphics and Photobition, will remain with the business to manage the existing client base.
Kelly added: “Displayways is renowned for providing graphics and display solutions for unusual, complicated and difficult applications and Sue has the same philosophy and approach to the market whereby we both provide a consultancy to clients who want and need the highest level of support.”
Woods said of the move: “I am proud to have grown Mintsource from scratch to a point where we are able to deliver a complete display solution to our customers, but I felt that the business now requires investment and the support of a larger organisation to take it forwards. Displayways will be able to better support the project management, production and installation of projects through their greater capability and capacity.”
