Ansearch has paid $3.5 million cash plus around $1.5 million in shares for Perth-based web development and search engine optimisation company, Webfirm, from owner Norman Asch, who reportedly bought the business from its founder three years ago for $700,000. Webfirm has 45 employees and was ranked the west’s 12th biggest web developer according to the WA Business News Book of Lists.
Meanwhile, former Sale of The Century host, Glenn Ridge, has been appointed Chairman of Ansearch, a company which he says now has the “sole focus of helping enterprises do more business online whether this is through advertising, site marketing, e-commerce, site optimisation, hosting, maintenance or online strategy”.
