Stanley Gibbons acquires first day cover business Stamps and collectibles dealer Stanley Gibbons has bought the world’s leading publisher of first day covers for £1.5m. Stanley Gibbons, which is an AIM listed company, has acquired the trade and assets of the Benham first day cover and collectible business from Flying Brands Limited. Benham, which trades in Jersey and the UK, specialises in high quality first day covers but is also a mail order collectibles retailer and distributor of new issue stamps. ‘The Benham name is as synonymous with quality first day covers as the Stanley Gibbons name is with philately,’ said Stanley Gibbons’ chief executive officer Michael Hall. ‘Benham is a low risk bolt-on acquisition providing a strong return on capital, high level of continuity revenue, good cash flows and diversification of revenue streams.’ Mr Hall added that the acquisition will provide opportunities for Stanley Gibbons to diversify into other collectibles markets and add specialist skills in volume mail order, collector club management and in-house design. ‘There are a number of synergies between the two databases of collectors and the products we sell, with the potential to develop the Benham website and cross-sell products online. There are also considerable opportunities to expand the combined mail order activities of Stanley Gibbons and Benham from Jersey,’ he said. ‘Following our recent research into the Chinese collectibles market, we see substantial opportunities to promote and distribute specific China related Benham products there.’ The company also expects that commemorative collectible products linked to the London Olympics 2012 will deliver substantial one-off revenues to the business.
