Ballarat Books, Warrnambool Books, Link Educational to rebrand as Campion Education

Following its acquisition of Victorian educational specialists Ballarat Books, Warrnambool Books and Mount Waverley-based Link Educational last year, the Campion Group will rebrand all three businesses as Campion Education.

Ballarat Books’ Federation University campus store will be rebranded, while the Ballarat North store will relocate south of the city to the suburb of Sebastopol.

In a statement, the Campion group said it would be ‘business as usual’ for all acquired stores, ‘with Campion Education continuing to serve Ballarat Books, Warrnambool Books and Link Educational customers’.

Campion managing director James Cathro said the company is pleased to have ‘such a large number of excellent people joining us from these businesses who will provide a wealth of knowledge and experience in these markets, and assist us to merge our businesses, while continuing to support and serve our customers in the best way we can’.

Cathro said Campion Education’s suite of digital services would be introduced at the acquired businesses.

‘[We are] excited to join forces with these three Victorian businesses and work towards uniting our strengths, learning from their successes and incorporating some of Campion Education’s market leading technology and 23 years’ experience in the education industry.’
