Based in Nantwich and founded by John and Marie Whittaker, Opera has built a great reputation across the Midlands and the North, proudly serving customers in the hospitality sector, with a clear focus on quality service and strong relationships.
“We are delighted to be merging with Opera,” says Sybron’s sales & marketing director, George Mason. “As two family-run companies joining forces, we share the same core values – teamwork and a commitment to exceptional service. Sybron is focused on maintaining our USPs and retaining our family-run culture, making Opera a natural fit as we continue to expand our footprint.”
Early in November, Opera joined Sybron – which is headquartered at Crammond Park, Harlow – at its new Stafford depot. The combined business is operating as Sybron, and the team will focus on maintaining excellent customer service and driving the business forward.
“Our new Stafford depot was originally intended as a distribution hub, however our new merger with Opera gives us the opportunity to create a distinct branch and a face for Sybron in the Midlands and the North.
“We have all approached this merger with great consideration and a commitment to satisfy all parties. The hours that have gone into it have paid off and together we have created an exceptional new team – we’re off to a great start and look forward to building the business together.”
“We are delighted to be under the Sybron umbrella – a win-win for us and our customers,” says Opera founder and Sybron Director of the North Region, John Whittaker. “Our customers will continue to enjoy exceptional service under the Sybron name and also benefit from the extended infrastructure, product innovation and investment in social responsibility that come with this larger, dynamic organisation.”
