Arrow acquires UK-tec

Arrow has snapped up UK-tec Limited — the outfit’s second acquisition this year.

The acquisition provides Arrow access to a range of Network and Security products and services including SD-WAN and managed services and provides extensive experience in the delivery of services via the UK Channel.

UK-tec is built on the experience of serial entrepreneurs and technical specialists, Ian Jackson, Matt Johnson and Ed Davison. The company has quickly established itself as a leading provider of security, network and SD-WAN managed services for the UK channel including TalkTalk Business.

UK-tec MD Ian Jackson said: “The acquisition advances our strategy by at least two years. Being part of the Arrow group provides us with the structure and capability to support the UK Channel with a range of services allowing them to flex and react to the needs of their customers as lockdown restrictions are relaxed. We are extremely pleased to be a part of the Arrow Group and excited about the future”

Arrow Business Communications  CEO Richard Burke said: “As a Group we have been looking to accelerate the development of our SD-WAN, complex networking and wider channel offering.} Bringing the UK-tec business into the Group significantly enhances our capability in all of these areas, with the team providing strong technical leadership and experience that will benefit both the Arrow group and its Channel partners. I am excited about what we can achieve together with our combined product portfolio in the coming years and delighted to complete the acquisition”.
