Percussion Plus rescue completed

Distributor, Frederick Hyde, has completed its purchase of the troubled Percussion Plus business.

Antony Batty was appointed as administrator of the business earlier this month. Based in Market Harborough, Percussion Plus was established in 1987 and manufactures percussion instruments by hand for the UK and international market, supplying over 900 instruments, many of which are made in its Leicestershire factory. The firm is also responsible for around 1500 educational percussion products and brands including Sonix drums, Wak-a-tubes, and Perfect Pitch instruments.

Frederick Hyde, managing director John Hughes-Chamberlain said: “We are thrilled to have Percussion Plus under our umbrella! We’ve had our eye on this marvellous brand for some time and have some exciting plans to take the company forward.”

All trade enquiries should be directed to Tom & Will, the distribution arm of Frederick Hyde on 01428 653381
