BDS Expands Services
BDS has expanded its portfolio of services through the acquisition of Weesleekit, a multi-discipline design company that provides branding for printed literature, internet and exhibition solutions, video, photography, music and copywriting.
“BDS is built on the creation of top quality data and in today’s’ linked and image conscious web environments, effective presentation and design around this data is essential,” comments Lesley Whyte. “The purchase of Weesleekit complements all sectors of our business and offers a whole new range of streamlined services for our clients.”
BDS is already the majority shareholder in web services company Ehaus, based in London. Ehaus specialises in handling large data sets such as book lists and sales for publishers and builds BDS’s flagship product BDSLive and its information service, Books & Media. The combination of Weesleekit and Ehaus offers a new range of integrated build, design and multimedia solutions for clients.
Weesleekit has been the provider of the web presence, newsletter, advertising and image for both BDS and West10 Entertainment for the past 10 years. The purchase represents a consolidation of the two companies’ resources and the opening of new opportunities for both operations.
Steve Kirkpatrick, Managing Director of Weesleekit, is delighted at the prospects joining BDS offers.
“Weesleekit has an impressive list of satisfied clients including national agencies, local authorities, arts organisations, and educational establishments. By working from within BDS we can seek new work on a national and international level. It is very exciting.”
Currently, about 70 percent of Weesleekit’s work is delivered via internet solutions, where it is able to enhance a client’s brand through its experience in offering additional services such as video, interpretation, printed literature and advertising.
“We are delighted to be working with Weesleekit,” comments Eric Green. “We have trusted Steve and his colleagues with our own brand and marketing for the past ten years, now we can offer Weesleekit’s excellence to a much wider market through our association.”
