CBS is delighted to announce the acquisition of ASK The Office Equipment Specialists.
ASK is a long-established supplier of office interiors, business and facilities supplies, promotional merchandise, workwear, PPE, tools and equipment to customers across West Yorkshire.
The acquisition is the self-funded asset purchase of ASK ‘s customer contracts, staff and vehicles. The two companies will operate at CBS’ Bradford Headquarters, under the CBS brand, ensuring continued business growth, on-going team development and the strengthening of the local economy.
The partnership enables CBS to expand its range of services, with ASK’s Managing Director, Greg Colehan, running the business equipment, office furniture and supplies operation. This will provide all CBS and ASK customers with an even wider choice of products and services, while receiving the same high standard of customer support that both businesses are renowned for.
John Green, Managing Director of CBS, explained why ASK is the perfect company for CBS to work with: “CBS and ASK are very similar. We are both Bradford based, service-led companies, with the same values. ASK stands for ‘Advice’, ‘Service’ and ‘Knowledge’, which fits perfectly with our own approach to business. I have known Greg for years and am really looking forward to working with him. My team is already working closely with ASK ’s team, to ensure a smooth transition to the CBS brand”.
