Eddingtons acquires Tuftop

Eddingtons has announced the purchase of selected assets from Tuftop -the manufacturing, sales and distribution business, based in Bourton on the Water.

“When the opportunity arose to acquire the Tuftop business the strategic objective of securing the supply chain whilst growing our sales were our main priorities,” reports Roger Murphy, Eddingtons’ managing director. “The on-going control of an established quality manufacturing business and the complementary fit with our expanding business sits very well with our longer term growth plans and we look forward to bringing the Tuftop brand under our control.”

Richard Walker, Eddingtons’ commercial director explains: ”Tuftop has been a key tried and tested Stow Green supplier for a number of years and we are delighted to secure the distribution.”

He continues: “Manufacturing in the UK strategically makes a lot of sense to us with the shorter lead times, enhanced and hands on quality control and the advantage of rapid product development opportunities. Vertically integrating this area of our supply chain with the opportunity to add and enhance design in this area gives us an exciting start to 2020.”

The extended Tuftop range will be showcased on the Stow Green stand at Spring Fair (NEC Birmingham, February 2-6, Hall 8, Stand F42). All orders and enquiries are now being processed via Eddingtons’ Hungerford sales office.
