Able2 looks to boost its walking sticks range with acquisition of Linden Leisure
Mobility and living aids specialist Able2 has announced that it has acquired Linden Leisure, a key player in the walking sticks and seat sticks market.
Linden Leisure was first set up by Brian Chanin in 1969 and is a well-respected supplier of walking sticks, seat sticks and many other products focused in the walking aid sphere and has continued in its speciality under the guidance of Brian’s children Guy and Julie at the helm.
Assembly, warehousing, distribution and corporate have been transferred from the scenic Cotswold countryside to the historically industrial Blackburn, and Able2 states that it is excited to broaden its horizons and build relationships with customers old and new.
Mark Diaj, UK Managing Director for Able2, commented: “We are delighted to be able to take on the Linden Leisure business.
“A good proportion of the Linden Leisure range slots in perfectly with our current ranges of mobility aid walking sticks and we’re excited that this addition comes with the added challenge of branching out into even more potential audiences to build some great new relationships.”
Working across both the trade and the consumer remit, Able2 states that it is now busy introducing these products to its customers and introducing itself to Linden Leisure’s valued customer base.
As far as Linden Leisure are concerned, Guy Chanin comments: “For Julie and me, passing the baton on to a company that has a keen interest in high quality products with an air of uniqueness to them has meant that we can now enjoy our retirement knowing that the business is in good hands.”
Able2 recently announced that it has again been named the exclusive distributor of the Uccello Kettle.
