A Devon IT consultancy has become the second acquisition in as many months for a growing Welsh communications service group.
Plymouth-based MazingTree, which provides tech support for organisations across the South West, has been bought by Flotek Group for an undisclosed sum.
The business’ technical team will integrate within Flotek with technical director John Allan remaining in the group.
Mr Allan said: “We’re very excited to become a part of the Flotek Group and offer our customers a wider support network for their IT needs, now with a key focus on delivering cyber security and cyber essentials certification.
“Joining Flotek gives us the resources we need to supercharge our client base and welcome more customers. Flotek’s cloud-focused approach offers new skills and opportunities for our team and clients alike.”
The deal comes after Cardiff-based Flotek bought long-running Swansea IT firm Gower Business Systems over the summer.
Flotek founder and chief executive Jay Ball said MazingTree was a “natural fit” for the group as it continues its expansion.
Mr Ball said: “This is the perfect base for us and unlocks a hugely exciting potential for growth; it’s an area where we have seen our competitors consolidate and customers seeking a new strategic local partner. We will continue to drive SMEs with the right IT & Comms support they need to scale up and reach the next level of operation.”
