Data management company Transactis has accepted an offer from RR Donnelley for its document services, reprographics and procurement operations, although Transactis’ data business will be unaffected.
Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, but the former CDMS company has confirmed that some 254 of its 360 employees may transfer from its Merseyside and London sites to RR Donnelley, and that staff are currently under Tupe legislation.
The contract and subsequent transfer of employees could be complete by March, with a period of transition taking place between April and December.
Richard Higginbotham, head of marketing at Transactis, said staff are in consultation for Tupe transfer not redundancy.
Transactis was acquired by print, mail and data group CDMS in January 2009, and CDMS rebranded under the Transactis banner in December 2009.
Transactis is headed by chief executive David Steele, who was unavailable to comment at this time.
The company’s core offering is database management, personalised direct mail, image management and catalogue production, and its clients include HM Revenue and Customs, Betfair, Shop Direct Group, Nationwide Building Society, and 200 UK home-shopping brands.
