Prior to joining DDP Holdings Inc, Sunderland was President and Chief Operating Officer of Advantage Sales and marketing. DDP Holdings Inc is a retail service organization founded in 1992 to meet the needs of retailers and vendors. Several things drew Palm Beach Capital to this investment. First was the leadership and track record of Mike. He has shown the ability to operate and grow a business within a well defined strategic plan. Second was the platform that DDP Holdings Inc provided for a strategic business plan. Prior to becoming part of Palm Beach Capital, DDP had been a successful retail organization servicing primarily retailers and with a strong focus on new store services. Scott Long of Palm Beach said “we felt that with our commitment and Mike’s leadership we could grow the DDP model on this platform”. Since acquiring DDP in 2007, Palm Beach has assisted DDP in reaching its platform growth, both organically and through acquisition. In 2007, DDP organically built its IonSMART Team, creating a national field merchandising project team. In 2008, with the help of Palm Beach, DDP acquired CSA, LLC a strong organization with strength in resets and project execution. Later in 2008, DDP acquired NRG, National Retail Group, another leading field merchandising project team and integrated its operations into IonSMART Team. Today, DDP Holdings Inc operates three specialized organizations. Its MI-DE construction division utilizes a team of nearly 500 to provide new store set up services, racking, shelving, fixture installation, millwork, lighting and a complete range of in-store completion and remerchandising services. DDP’s CSA division utilizes its team of over 300 professionals that specialize in resets, large project execution and display execution. DDP’s IonSMART Team Inc. is a retail merchandising team focused on retail execution through cycle coverage and project execution. IonSMART Team uses a team of over 3,000 merchandisers. IonSMART Team also offers merchandiser staffing services to other field organizations. Sunderland noted “while we are pleased with the breadth of service we offer and our level of expertise in each specialty, we have still targeted several other areas for growth. We hope to acquire two or three other organizations to complete our platform. “ Scott Long added “We offer a partner a unique blend of resources, from industry connections and knowledge to capital. This combination should allow us to take advantage of great new opportunities with the right partners.” Palm Beach Capital and DDP will be attending the NARMS convention in Colorado Springs this April and hopes to schedule several meetings with prospective partners to further its corporate plans. Look for DDP to find new partnerships with companies focused in the Drug, Dollar, Office, Pet, Sporting goods and Department store segments. The Company is also always looking to add to its strengths in fixture and installations as well.
