Flotek has acquired Gower Business Systems to help boost its offering to customers in South Wales and beyond.
The takeover is part of Flotek’s plan for growth through acquisition and is in line with the company’s vision of supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The company also said it had chosen strategic partnerships with Microsoft to help its SME business clients migrate to cloud technologies.
Jay Ball, CEO of Flotek, said: “We are delighted that Gower Business Systems is joining Flotek.
“The team there has developed an incredible reputation over the last 30 years, being a certified Microsoft partner and working proactively to provide tailored IT and tech solutions to clients.
“By integrating with Flotek, this enhances our delivery of dedicated care and support to SMEs, helping them adopt next-generation technologies and delivering cost savings, scalability and growth.
“Our ambitious growth is centred around our fundamental values, to make sure we deliver services with expertise and passion.
“With people at our core, we have a clear vision of an employee-led, customer-focused business with a trusted name in the sector.”
According to Flotek, the acquisition of the Swansea-based IT provider adds £1.2m in revenue to Flotek’s turnover.
Flotek says that its core aim is helping regional businesses access and embrace cloud technology to allow them to boost their operations and serving offerings.
The company currently has a base in Cardiff and, following the acquisition, a second base in Swansea to allow the organisation to extend its coverage further with engineers closer to customers.
Gower Business Systems specialises in providing technology for the legal and professional services sector, with the company founders Mark Wyatt and Mark Bowling set to continue in roles at Flotek.
Mark Wyatt, Director of Gower Business Systems, commented: “Having developed the business’ success during the past three decades, joining with Flotek is an exciting next step for the Gower Business team.
“We very much share Flotek’s ethos of helping regional SMEs utilise complete IT support and technologies to reach their full potential and are excited to be a part of the business’ growth.”
