Keytools announce acquisition of Kid Glove
(For more information about Keytools Ltd, please visit our main website at www.keytools.com.)
From 7th August 2003 Kid Glove becomes part of Keytools Ltd, in a move that provides Keytools with the sole rights to the Kid Glove name. All of Kid Glove products are complementary with existing Keytools products, providing a range of high visibility gloves and stickers and a user friendly keyboard.
Tim Roberts, MD of Keytools Ltd said,
"This is a positive step forward for Keytools. Acquiring Kid Glove will bring extra benefits to customers of both Keytools and Kid Glove by adding first class Keytools support, advice and services. I’m particularly pleased that our range for visually impaired users is now very comprehensive and that through Kid Glove we are able to enjoy the expertise of VI support groups, such as the RNIB, together with similar organisations in the EC."
George Mead, MD of Kid Glove said,
"When I decided to move on as Managing Director of Kid Glove, Keytools was the natural choice. Our long standing relationship, the company’s knowledge of the product, as well as many years experience within our target market made them natural successors. This move will benefit all our customers as I know Keytools can offer them the latest computer access solutions as well as expert advice."
With over 12 years of experience, Keytools specialises in advising on and supplying the right computer access devices for a broad range of disabilities. The product range includes keyboards, mice, software and other assistive technology, to help people with all kinds of physical, sensory, and cognitive challenges. Keytools will always help provide the best ICT access solution - no matter how unique the need!
