Bigjigs Toys has acquired jigsaw brand The House of Puzzles.
“We are honoured to welcome The House of Puzzles into the Bigjigs family,” said Sam Ireland, Operations Director of Bigjigs Toys.
“Puzzles were the first product mum and dad created back in 1985, so this exciting acquisition feels like the perfect fit. Looking ahead, we are committed to preserving the legacy of this beloved brand, while infusing it with a Bigjigs touch of playfulness and innovation.”
Ivor Cohen, a founder of The House of Puzzles, added: “We are delighted to pass the torch to Bigjigs Toys. Their stewardship, experience, and drive will re-energise The House of Puzzles, and we look forward to seeing it reach new heights under Bigjigs’ skill and guidance.”
