Irish founded managed cloud and security services providers Ekco has today announced a deal to buy UK-based Solsoft Group Limited.
This marks Ekco's third acquisition this year and its seventh in the last two years.
Solsoft is a Bristol-headquartered MSP with over 26 years of experience delivering proactive IT services to small-and-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and not-for-profit organisations across the south and southwest of the UK.
The company's 16-strong team will join Ekco's workforce of more than 1,000 people globally across Ireland, UK, Netherlands, Malaysia and South Africa.
Solsoft will form part of the Ekco MSP Division and expand Ekco's capabilities in the UK market under the leadership of Cian Prendergast.
Paul Nannetti, Chair of Ekco, said that Solsoft is a fantastic addition to the Ekco MSP Division as the company accelerates it expansion strategy and continues to grow its footprint and capabilities in key markets.
"Their long-standing commitment to proactive service and their alignment with industry best practices give us real confidence in a fast, effective integration and a stronger UK presence - delivered with the discipline and consistency our customers expect," he added.
Cian Prendergast, CEO of the Ekco MSP Division, said that with Ekco's world class expertise in security-first managed services and cutting-edge technology, the new partnership was a perfect match.
Neil Farnworth, Managing Director of Solsoft, said that joining Ekco lets the company bring more capability and resilience to its customers, backed by Ekco's scale - while maintaining the responsiveness they value.
"Our aligned ways of working and approaches to service delivery means we can really hit the ground running," he added.
