Belfast-based Connect Telecom has announced that it has acquired the Lewes-based Think Group for an undisclosed sum.
Established in 2004, Think Group is one of the leading suppliers of business communications services in the south-east of England and employs 18 staff.
Now ranked as one of the fastest growing business communications companies in the UK, the Think Group deal is the seventh by the company in the last 18 months, taking its total Vodafone connections across the UK and Ireland to over 70,000.
Connect Telecom, which delivers fixed line, mobile, broadband and cloud services for businesses, was named 2017 Vodafone One Net Business (ONB) Partner of the Year for the second time.
With 100 employees, it now serves businesses across the UK with offices in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Carlisle, Manchester, Dunstable, Lewes and London, in addition to its Belfast headquarters.
Since purchasing Connect Telecom in 2015, Scott Ritchie, Chief Executive Officer, Connect Telecom Holdings, has quadrupled the business base and expects significant expansion in 2018. He said:
“We have a continuing and ambitious growth strategy and I expect our revenues and customer base to continue in an upward trajectory throughout this year.
“Think Group was an obvious acquisition target for Connect as we share many values, not least placing our customers first in presenting an unrivalled level of service and access to cutting edge technology that unifies business communications.
“As a Total Communications Partner, the highest Vodafone accreditation, Connect is delighted to welcome Think Group to the Connect family and help us play our part in continuing to expand the business.
Think Group’s 18 staff including Managing Director, Damon Newbold, will transfer to Connect Telecom.
