Bluestorm has acquired neighbouring design, advertising and marketing agency, Linfoots, for an undisclosed sum.
It comes because the company’s founder, David Linfoot, decided to retire at the end of the year.
“I am absolutely confident that Bluestorm will be able to provide continuity of service to Linfoots clients. I’m sure too that they will be able to build on what we have achieved,” explained Linfoot, who established the company in 1989.
“Bluestorm offer a wider range of marketing support services than we have done traditionally and are developing new ways to integrate them to deliver maximum return on investment.”
Bluestorm was 45th in Prolific North’s Integrated Agencies Top 50 last year.
“We had always respected David’s work, having seen it at first hand by working on several shared clients. We knew too that we had the necessary skills and sector experience to look after his clients. We thought the that the two business would fit together well,” said Andy Cawley, managing director of Bluestorm.
“Congratulations to David on his retirement, we wish him all the very best for the future.”
It means that Linfoot’s office in Beverley have been closed.
