Shepparton dealer Budget Office Choice has been sold to Jeff Harris, who will add the business to his expanding network of Office Choice outlets.

 

Owned by Gavin and Jenny Doherty (pictured) for the past 23 years, Budget Office Choice will undergo a name change to Office Choice Shepparton and will be a “cornerstone’ of Harris’ group which also comprises Office Choice Echuca, Office Choice Griffith and Office Choice Leeton.

 

The Doherty’s, who will stay on for an indefinite period to facilitate the transition, have been servicing the office product needs of greater Shepparton as members of the Office Choice group since 2008, initially as an unbranded Office Connexions member and later rebranding to Budget Office Choice.

 

“Jenny and I cannot thank our loyal clients around Shepparton enough. Without their support and friendship, we could not have enjoyed the successful and long-standing business that Budget Office Choice has been,” Gavin Doherty said.  

 

New owner Jeff Harris added: “We are really pleased with the acquisition of Budget Office Choice. Shepparton and the Greater Shepparton areas are a vibrant and diverse market and we look forward to partnering with the businesses there. We specialise in providing high level customer service and support to the business community and will have some exciting changes to rollout in the coming months.”

 

Office Choice CEO Brad O’Brien said: “Whilst sad to say goodbye to much loved members Gavin and Jenny Doherty from our group, we are delighted that Office Choice Shepparton will remain within the Office Choice family and maintains our strong brand within the Goulburn Valley. It is a testament to our strong member network that we can keep the store within the family. We wish Gavin and Jenny all the best for the future”.
