Golf caddy firms join forces

London, 3rd April - Two of Britain's makers of electric golf caddies have joined forces. Wheelpower International of Birmingham, owned by the Grundy Group, has acquired the business assets, designs and manufacturing rights of Caddymatic of Tewkesbury.

New managing director of Caddymatic, Ted Goddard said there would be no job losses and that both companies will continue to manufacture their existing range and to supply spare parts and servicing to existing customers.

Wheelpower is seven years old and Caddymatic was set up in 1986 and between them they claim to sell about 10,000 caddies a year in the UK and to other golf-playing countries.

Wheelpower International was acquired by the Grundy Group, a company with interets in publishing, printing, stockbroking and finance.
