It’s an exciting year for the team at Off The Wall Creative as they have successfully acquired the specialist joinery company, Designco.
Off The Wall Creative have been delivering world-class signage and branding services to clients for over 15 years in over 15 countries. Under the leadership of Patrick McGowan, Off The Wall Creative’s expertise and attention to creative detail have positioned them as giants in their industry, with their bold designs and impeccable track record supporting a wide and loyal client base.
The team at Off The Wall Creative pride themselves on the client experience they deliver with each and every project and are continuously searching for ways to make this experience a more linear, easy process. Because of this, the decision to acquire Designco was an easy one.
Designco are a joinery company that have operated with huge success for almost two decades, under the expertise of Richard and Melissa McCullough. Designco are creative specialists in exhibition, event, interiors and display and similarly to Off The Wall Creative, they also design, manufacture and deliver using creativity, innovation and quality.
Designco share many values with Off The Wall Creative, emphasising their focus on creative solutions, global quality and a close-knit team of experts that care deeply about their clients and their projects.
The exciting thing about this new collaboration is that the two teams plan on working together to craft a more linear, effective process for clients in need of their services, while still honouring each other’s expertise and allowing the teams to excel at what they do best.
Off The Wall Creative’s director, Patrick McGowan spoke on this new partnership. He said: “The fantastic thing about this acquisition is that both companies will remain as separate entities, operating as specialists in their fields, but with shared goals and opportunities for growth.
"We want both teams to be empowered to continue the fantastic work they’re already doing, but offer them the opportunity to learn from one another, collaborate when a client is in need of a full and linear service and to expand on their skillsets if and when desired.
"We see this as an opportunity to build on both empires to become bolder and better with each others support.”
Both companies offer connected, yet specialist services. Off the Wall Creative provides the design, manufacture and installation of signage and creative branding primarily in the Corporate Office Interior, Retail, Hospitality/Entertainment and Manufacturing sectors.
Desingco bring their joinery expertise to exhibitions, events, interiors and creative display. Though these companies can and have successfully operated on their own, this collaboration will bring huge peace of mind to clients in need of both or a combination of services.
Smooth communication, increased efficiency and advancement in access to new technology, are just some of the positives this alliance will bring to clients in the coming months and both teams are excited about this growth.
Previous owner of Designco Richard McCullough said: “Designco is a business very close to my heart. I founded Designco almost 20 years ago and after overcoming many hurdles in a highly competitive market, we managed to craft this business into the success it is today. I’m honoured and delighted to pass that baton now on to Patrick and his team. I’m certain it's in great hands.
"Patrick has proved himself to be an innovative and creative business leader himself with the success of Off The Wall Creative Ltd and acquiring Designco makes perfect business sense. The two companies complement each other perfectly and together, they will provide a complete package of design and build across multiple sectors.”
This meeting of minds have big plans for the future, with hopes to bring in new staff, generating more employment in the industry. They also are eager to invest in new technology, skills and equipment to allow these teams of experts to grow personally and as a collective. Director, Patrick, shared that both teams are in positive conversation about short- term and long-term goals, with both companies seeing a bright future ahead.
Patrick added: “From the start of my journey in this industry, Designco have always been a company that I admired and I always aspired to emulate their drive, quality and creative outlook. To now be in this position and be able to join forces in this way is truly incredible."
