A North East digital agency is set to open a new base in the region to support its growing workforce after acquiring a web design firm.
White Digital, a website development and digital marketing agency based in Darlington, has snapped up Design365, which has bases in Gateshead and Newton Aycliffe. The move will safeguard the future of Design365 and its four members of staff, following the retirement of director Alan Foster and his business partner and wife Anne Foster.
Douglas Dinwiddie, managing director of White Digital, said: “I was introduced to Alan by a mutual business associate, and, after the initial introduction, we met up and a discussion was held around the future of Design365. This is the latest in a line of acquisitions that we have made over the last few years, and it has added an array of different skills to our developer department, as well as abilities in software like Magento, so we can now offer more options, especially on the e-commerce side.
