ADBUS, the Harrogate organisation which designs, sells and fixes advertising space on buses has bought out Decker Media, the well-established media sales company based in Nottingham.

Financial details of the deal are undisclosed, but the acquisition effectively doubles turnover to £4 million.

Adbus, which employs 70 people at its headquarters in East Parade, was established 17 years ago and handles the sales and maintenance of advertisements on over 200 smaller or municipal bus companies across most of the UK as well as handling the bus advertising in Malta.
