“The acquisition of Jack Brunsdon & Son, with annual sales of approx. SEK 100 million, instantly almost doubles our operations in the UK. It also enables us to take a completely different approach to penetrating the attractive UK market.”
“With approx. 50 employees, seven showrooms in the London area and an image as a premium brand, Jack Brunsdon contributes expertise that we’ve not previously had in this market.
