Gallery Direct has bought artwork supplier Art Marketing amid a management reorganisation.
‘We have long admired the Art Marketing business and its ability to produce on trend artwork, clocks and photo frames, fashioned by talented artists and graphic designers under the guidance of founders Nigel and Anthony Waller. They have created an outstanding business, trading for more than 40 years. The quality and depth of their range is industry leading, being the stand-out brand within the wall decor sector,’ says Peter Delaney, Gallery Direct sales and product director.
Nigel Waller, Art Marketing md will become Gallery’s category director for wall decor.
‘I am delighted to be joining Gallery Direct. It is an exciting time and joining a larger design led business will have benefits to our team and customers. Working with our new colleagues, I want to broaden Gallery’s category offer with fresh new innovative collections of wall art, clocks, photo frames and decorative mirrors,’ he says.
The acquisition sees a management reorganisation at Gallery. Delaney has moved to the new role of sales and product director, focusing on bringing products to market and leading sales and marketing. Michael Last, ceo of the Gallery group becomes Gallery Direct md.
