Growing IT firm makes another double swoop
Managed service provider Air IT is continuing its acquisition strategy after sealing deals for two more companies.
The business has bought Reading-based MFG UK and Uttoxeter-based Infinity IT Solutions for undisclosed sums.
They represent the seventh and eighth acquisitions in a series of deals, which have been completed since Air IT received backing from August Equity.
It is part of an ambitious strategy to expand across the UK and become the managed service provider for small and medium-sized businesses nationally.
As a result of the latest acquisitions, Air IT has increased its headcount to 270 staff – and boosted its existing presence in the south-east and the Midlands.
John Whitty, chief executive at Air IT, said: “We are thrilled to have found two more outstanding teams to join the Air IT Group, which has allowed us to further expand our footprint and introduce skilful, likeminded colleagues to the team.
“Both MFG and Infinity are very similar to us in terms of their service maturity, product set, client type and, most importantly, culture.
“We are confident that they will be a great fit for Air IT and look forward to the contribution we know they will add.
“Our aim is to be the go-to MSP and MSSP for SMEs across the UK, delivering a local service on a national scale, and welcoming exceptional talent to the group will help us achieve this.”
