GB GROUP PLC
("GBG", the "Group" or the "Company")
Sale of GBG Marketing Services
GBG, the identity data intelligence specialist, is pleased to announce that it has sold its Marketing Services division to HH Global Interactive Limited ("HH Interactive"), a subsidiary of HH Global Group Limited ("HH Global").
This sale supports GBG's strategic focus on its core global capabilities in Location Intelligence, Identity Verification and Fraud Prevention. As a consequence of this strategic focus revenues from Marketing Services have declined in recent years and in FY20 accounted for approximately 2% of Group revenues.
HH Interactive provides a comprehensive suite of marketing services and this transaction will allow GBG's customers to benefit from a broader range of technology and services now required by marketing departments.
Chris Clark, GBG's CEO, commented: "We are pleased to have found a very capable new owner for our Marketing Services team and customers. HH Interactive has the capability to provide a rich set of marketing-related services and can respond more completely to the increasing needs of our marketing services customers."
