"This change of ownership will allow Willowbridge Labels to grow to its full potential," said Barry Denny, Denny Bros' managing director. "It is a high-quality, expertly run label printing business that will benefit from the increased investment that the Denny Bros Group can offer."

Following the acquisition, Willowbridge, which claims to have around 700 trade customers and employs six staff, will continue to trade independently.

The firm produces quality printed self-adhesive labels in up to six colours in fanfold, roll and sheet formats. It also makes thermal direct labels, which can be overprinted to customer requirements.
