Bluecube Cloud Services Limited has acquired Techbox Managed IT Services Limited as part of its business growth strategy as it evolves from a communications provider to MSP (managed service provider).
Bluecube was founded 15 years ago, initially to provide mobile phone services for business, as well as broadband and telephony. The communications side of the business evolved and Bluecube became a key provider of hosted telephony, unified communications, mobile and internet connectivity services.
Last year the business entered into the IT sector and the acquisition of Techbox Managed IT Services adds momentum to this growth.
In a statement on the acquisition, Managing Director Paul Reames said: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the Techbox team and a diverse base of business and education sector clients to add to our growing customer base.
“The merging of the Techbox and Bluecube skill sets demonstrates our commitment to bringing further new talent into the business as we strive to become a leading MSP.”
Techbox was founded in 2018 by Andy Fellows, who becomes Head of IT Services at Bluecube as part of the acquisition deal. Andy and his team have more than 20 years of experience in the IT industry supporting clients in the education and SMB sectors.
As part of the acquisition Bluecube has taken new and larger offices in Lincoln to make room for the new team.
