SAMS Group Ltd, headquartered in Motspur Park, Surrey, has merged with Nottingham-based KRCS Group Plc. The companies claim to be the two top Apple Computer Inc dealers in the UK, and combined turnover is said to be over #25m. No financial details, but the merged company will employ three SAMS directors, while founder and managing director Max Wright, along with Mike Walker, finance director, are leaving the company. Ken Woods, formerly with KRCS and managing director of the new organisation, says that KRCS needs to expand and establish a base in the South East, and the SAMS Group provides an established customer base with sales staff and distribution outlets. The new group is setting up a National Strategic Account team to target corporate accounts, and the company has signed a number of joint-marketing agreements with the likes of JVC and Agfa Geveart to supply multi-media offerings.
