Gyro International, an integrated B2B communications, marketing and advertising agency, has strengthened its capabilities with the acquisition of Woolley Pau. Terms of the deal were undisclosed.

Woolley Pau specialises in advertising and marketing for the healthcare and biotech sector. The acquisition follows Gyro’s acquisitions of bio-chemical experts Cicero and biotechnology specialists Dowell Stubbs earlier this year.

COO of Gyro International Richard Glasson said: “Strategically Woolley Pau is a significant acquisition for Gyro. We have identified healthcare as a key market for growth and we are extremely close to being able to offer our clients a total healthcare offering.

This will be completed shortly with a further acquisition planned in this sector before Christmas.”

Woolley Pau works on brands that include over-the-counter and prescription medicines. The 25-staff agency has an annual turnover of some £3 million.
