James Low, founder and chief executive officer of Deep Blue, said: โWe are delighted with this transaction which has accelerated our growth, making us the largest player in the market by a considerable margin.
โOur immediate focus will be on the integration of the business into the Deep Blue organisation.
โOur amalgamation with Harry Ramsdenโs is a key milestone in our development but we remain committed to exploiting the unparalleled opportunities within the sector for further expansion.โ
