East Midlands-based accountancy firm PKF Cooper Parry has bought Sync Interactive, a creative agency based in the West Midlands which specialises in mobile and business apps for an undiclosed sum.

PKF Cooper Parry says the deal will bring new jobs and further investment. Sync’s employees will move into PKF Cooper Parry’s Park View office in Solihull.

Sync Interactive also designs user interfaces (UI) and user experiences (UX), games, illustration, packaging and brands, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) apps.
