On this day: assets of Bradford web design firm purchased in deal
On this day in 2020, the Telegraph and Argus reported that the assets of a Bradford-based web design and app development company had been bought by a fellow West Yorkshire firm.
The assets of Inspire Bradford Business Park-based Webposse, including clients, servers, and brands, were purchased by Leeds-based website and digital marketing agency Ascensor.
The clients, servers, and brands of Webposse's associated web hosting firm, ClaretMediaLLP, were also acquired as part of the deal.
Steve Bennett, former owner of Webposse, was set to continue with Ascensor on a consultancy basis to support clients during the transition.
He said at the original time of reporting in 2020: "The deal with Ascensor is a great opportunity for me to continue to support the client bank that I've built up over the years.
"The Webposse brand is well established, and the acquisition by Ascensor will provide Webposse customers with a range of new services."
At the time of writing in 2015, Ascensor provided web design and digital marketing to mid corporates and larger SMEs.
It also offered bespoke Application Programming Interface (API) development and app development services.
Webposse has numbered the Leeds Law Society, Me Smarter Mortgages, and Compliance Your Advice among its clients.
