Document Data Group (DDG), the fast-growing Central Scotland-based company supplying photocopiers/printers, document management and IT services, has added another customer rich Scottish business machine company to its portfolio.
Bellshill-based DDG has acquired the assets of Fife-based Hire Tech, which specialises in printers and copiers. The deal brings in the region of 100 new customers to DDG, which now has a turnover approaching £5 million, and will expand the geographical reach and customer support capabilities for both enterprises.
It is the latest initiative by DDG, which has 35 employees and has experienced steadily increasing sales since it consolidated its operations and moved into a new headquarters at Strathclyde Business Park in 2020.
David Forsyth, DDG Managing Director said: “We are delighted to welcome Hire Tech into the DDG family and we expect that this new partnership will bring significant benefits to the operations of both companies.
“DDG has been on a steadily upward trajectory since we moved to our new HQ four years ago and morale, which has never been higher, will now be further boosted by this addition to our range and capabilities. Brian Hamilton has built a remarkable business at Hire Tech and will continue in an important role with us with all the support and back-office help that growing businesses need.”
Brian Hamilton, Managing Director, Hire Tech added: “I have started, built and sold three companies over the course of my career, but it has been a real privilege to have been brought into alliance with a company and a team as professional as DDG. It has fantastic people and an enormously exciting range of resources and we are very much looking forward to working with the new staff.”
