“This is a great opportunity for Tobar to expand into the education market” says ceo David Mordecai.
Tobar International is to expand into the education market following its acquisition of Kit for Kids.
The education specialist has a strong business in the core education market, but recently fell into administration due to some unrelated issues.
Despite this, Kit for Kids retains major clients in the education business and is the market leader in some categories. It also supplies soft play and furniture to schools and nurseries and others in the education sector.
“This is a great opportunity for Tobar to expand into the education market and is a natural progression for us,” said David Mordecai, ceo of Tobar International (pictured). “Our first task will be to ensure that Kit for Kids is in the best condition to continue to supply and support their core customers with the products they want.
“Eventually we will be able to extend their product line to include Tobar products and also create smaller versions of their existing range to appeal to our customers. I see Kit for Kids as our new education division.”
David continued: “This is another exciting development for Tobar and just strengthens and enhances our offering as a company.”
Kit for Kids will continue to be based in Sevenoaks with its existing team following the acquisition.
