In addition, the two businesses have complimentary customer bases and provide an opportunity for the two businesses to cross sell products to eachother's customers as well as the expansion of the online presence and shop.
Ed Stoddart, Chief Executive of Start Canvas, said: "Mudfords is a great fit for our business as it consolidates our market position as a leading provider of industrial and haulage coversand allows us to expand our production capabilities as well as our product range. The acquisition is a key part of our strategy which will see us look to ambitiously grow our business through organic expansion and acquisition."
