DPS Digital has merged with its sister company, Intervino, to create a new brand – IV Creative
UK print specialist DPS Digital has merged with sister company Intervino to create a new brand, IV Creative, to expand into the international market.
Founded in 2012, DPS Digital provides services for major brands such as Moonpig; and Intervino, founded 18 years ago, provides personalised packaging, gifting, and fulfilment services for clients including Doritos, Coca-Cola, and Diageo.
IV Creative chief operating officer, Helen Smith, says it’s hoped the merger will help the business fulfil its “immense potential” and lead to more success and growth.
“Our long-term goal for IV Creative is to expand further into the international market and offer our services globally, and we hope that growth could bring about new employment opportunities for the area,” Smith adds.
With DPS Digital currently employing 100 members of staff at its Sleaford Business Park base, the merger is also expected to bolster the company’s diverse leadership team which is split equally between males and females.
Following the rebrand, Intervino’s former chief executive officer, Amy Lennox, will take on the role of IV Creative’s group chief executive officer.
“With both companies providing complementary services, the merger made perfect sense to us and it is just the latest stage of the incredible transformation in this business during the last few years,” Lennox says.
