Unified communications MSP AVC One has acquired Invicta Telephone Sales (ITS) to widen its offering in the SME market.
ITS provides telephone lines, call packages, hosted telephony and connectivity to SMEs operating across the transportation, architecture and education markets, among others. It predominantly operates in the south and south-east of England.
ITS supports phone systems including those from Toshiba, NEC and Panasonic, and also provides its own ITS Hosted system.
AVC One offers a fully integrated digital transformation technology stack through a privately owned network, supported by an in-house nationwide engineering team. AVC One said ITS will “bolster” its wider offer in digital communications, connectivity, technical services and consultancy.
The ITS brand will be retained after the acquisition (for an undisclosed sum), with all ITS staff retained and continuing to work out of its offices 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.
“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,” said Russell Parker, managing director of AVC One. “We have made this acquisition on the back of three years of strong organic growth, where we have tripled in size. 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.”
