MSP Celerity has acquired Chester-based Chilli IT, increasing its turnover to over £40m and expanding its team to 95.
This acquisition enhances Celerity’s technical expertise and opens new opportunities in logistics and retail.
Funded by a £15m investment from BGF in 2021, this is Celerity’s first move in a planned growth spree.
Celerity’s COO Craig Aston, said: “We’ve experienced strong organic growth with our managed services and have been looking for potential acquisitions to support the strategic direction of the business.”
“There’s an excellent synergy between Celerity and Chilli and today’s deal enhances our service offerings while enabling cross-selling opportunities to drive growth through integration.”
Chilli IT’s 17 employees will continue working from Chester, retaining their brand.
Richard Warren, Chilli Founder, added: “This is a statement of intent for the future and provides significant benefits for our team and clients now Chilli is part of a bigger, entrepreneurial organisation.”
