NEWCASTLE, Tyne & Wear. – 1 October 2021 – Digitalab Ltd, one of Europe’s leading Pro Labs, today announced it has completed its acquisition of The Wee Album Company.
“The Wee Album Company are an extraordinary company, with an amazing product range and incredibly enthusiastic customers and community.” said Jill Roe, owner and MD of Digitalab. “Bringing our two ranges together we can bring photographers across the UK, Europe and US an unbeatable product offering of Print, Wall Art and Albums of the very highest quality.”
“Not only will we be adding the boutique Album Ranges of The Wee Album Company to Digitalab’s extensive offering, we will be opening up our multi award winning Print & Wall Art ranges to the fantastic customers of the Wee Album Company. Our companies share an ethos of quality, customer service & sustainability over everything else and we look forward to welcoming The Wee Album Co’s customers into the Digitalab family.”
David Bryce, previous owner of The Wee Album Company: “I am thrilled to be handing over The Wee Album Company to such a fantastic custodian in Digitalab. Their reputation for both quality and customer care is second to none within the industry and I can’t think of a better group of people to be entrusting TWAC to. Over the years I have made some fantastic contacts through the business and I’d like to thank every single customer who we have worked with over the years – I’m delighted to be able to leave you all in such safe hands.”
Continuity of service over the coming months is our number one priority and we’d like to reassure all Wee Album Company customers that the same exceptional quality of product and customer experience will be carried on by the team here at Digitalab. To help make the transition as smooth as possible we are delighted that David will be staying on to aid all Wee Album customers over the coming months and ensure that you are still able to supply your beautiful albums to your clients as normal.
The Wee Album Company website will remain open for orders, allowing photographers to place their orders like they always have. We will however be adding these stunning albums to Digitalab’s existing Fountain Album range, allowing photographers to find everything they need in one place – Albums, Wall Art and Print all under one roof. We will be contacting all Wee Album Customers over the coming days to provide them all of the information they’ll need to get registered on the Digitalab platform.
The Wee Album Company will make Digitalab stronger than ever, and together with our exceptionally talented team, will enable Digitalab to offer the best and most comprehensive offering to Professional Photographers in the UK. We are incredibly excited to bring this extended offering to both customer bases and we look forward to working with you all.
Calum Thomson, General Manager at Digitalab is highly delighted this addition to the Digitalab portfolio has been achieved: “It is a wonderful opportunity to offer our existing customers a wonderful range of the highest quality albums as well as giving Wee Album Customers the opportunity to not only purchase their Albums as before but a multi award winning range of Wall Art, Framed Products and print options, a true full service professional lab. There will obviously be a transition period where we will be integrating services, software platforms, materials and stock and we would ask for your support and patience whilst we integrate over the coming months.”
