Integra Business Solutions and Office Friendly announced that their merger has been officially approved by shareholders and will therefore go ahead.
The official transfer will take place at the beginning of July at which point the BLOC Group will be formed, with Aidan McDonough taking up the role of Chairman and Jeanette Caswell, the role of Managing Director.
Integra’s CEO, Aidan McDonough, commented: “It’s a pleasure to be able to confirm the coming together of Integra and Office Friendly and the beginning of a new exciting chapter as the BLOC Group. This is a bold step forward in creating a stronger, more agile organisation that’s better positioned to serve our members and key partners in an evolving marketplace.”
This merger marks a transformative moment in the industry, bringing together two highly respected organisations with a shared vision to empower independent dealers through diversification, collaboration, and unparalleled services and support.
Jeanette Caswell, Office Friendly’s Managing Director, added: “The creation of BLOC represents a new era for the dealer community. Through greater economies of scale and our combined expertise and resource, we look forward to unlocking new potential for growth, collaboration, and long-term success. We’re incredibly excited for what lies ahead and want to take this opportunity to thank our members and partners for their continued support.”
The integration process is already in motion, with both organisations working towards a smooth transition, the organisations added.
