Woodland Group and Worldwide Book Services (WBS) are delighted to announce the strengthening of their alliance with Woodland Group having successfully acquired 50% of the UK logistics company.
This move marks the combined forces becoming the strongest supply chain suppliers to the media and publishing industry across the globe and their combined substantial volumes further improving their joint service offering across east and west Europe, and Russia.
Having forged a very close working relationship with WBS over more than 10 years, delivering book and media solutions to joint clients such as Amazon since 2007, Woodland Group was recently offered the opportunity to buy out Simon Taylor and acquire half the business.
Managing Director David Burnham remains 50% shareholder and will partner with Woodland Group to develop and grow opportunities through their shared network, global coverage, and client database, strategically strengthening their already well-established presence in the media & publishing industry and further enhancing their international capabilities.
“Our vision is to combine the specialist skills and experience of Worldwide Book Services with the strength and quality of Woodland Group to become the ultimate leader in delivering international media logistics. Thanks to the involvement of Woodland Group, we now have the ideal combination of skills, experience, and resources to bring a new standard of service to booksellers, publishers, printers and the wider industry.”, David Burnham, MD of WBS, commented.
