Comms managed service provider AVC One has acquired Invicta Telephone Sales (ITS) for an undisclosed sum. ITS provides telephone lines, call packages, hosted telephony and connectivity to mainly SMEs.
ITS serves businesses across a wide range of sectors, including transportation, architecture and education, predominantly in the south and south-east of England.
AVC One operates a fully integrated digital transformation technology stack incorporating digital communications on a privately owned platform, supported by an in-house nationwide engineering team. ITS supports phone systems including Toshiba, NEC and Panasonic, and also provides its own ITS Hosted system.
The ITS brand will continue after the acquisition, with AVC One saying the business will “bolster” its wider offer in digital communications, connectivity, technical services and consultancy.
All ITS staff will be retained and will continue to work out of its offices based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. “Customer contracts will remain the same with the benefit of the security of being part of a larger organisation,” said AVC One.
Russell Parker, Managing Director of AVC One, said:
“We welcome the ITS team to AVC One, the company has a portfolio that complements our business, adding value to current customers while creating new opportunities”
“We have made this acquisition on the back of three years of strong organic growth, where we have tripled in size,” said Parker. “Organic growth continues to be important, but we will also consider strategic acquisitions on a case by case basis where there is a good fit.”
Simon Beaumont, Managing Director for ITS, added: “We are becoming part of the AVC One team while still maintaining the ITS identity and approach to service that our customers have come to trust and value over the years.
“It will be business as usual, but with the added benefit of having access to the rich resources, additional services and expertise that AVC One has.”
Last month, AVC One unveiled MobileX, a mobile unified communications service that enables companies to bring “business-class” mobile communication to their distributed workforces.
Offered in partnership with Tango Networks, the new service extends a company’s existing unified communications platform to any mobile phone. It turns business users’ mobile phones into fully featured extensions of their company’s phone system, “boosting business user productivity no matter where they work”, said AVC One.
