Kevin Timms, CEO at EACS, said the acquisition comes as the firm prepares to hit £30 million revenue for its 2018 financial year.

EACS previously reported a revenue of £16.1 million in the year ending 31 March 2017.

Timms said: “Sentronex has built a well-deserved reputation for great service within the financial services sector over many years.

“This acquisition enables us to add a fantastic set of clients to our business from a base in London of high-quality technical resources.

“Significantly, Sentronex’s disaster recovery services adds an important new dimension to our managed services portfolio and Sentronex customers will have the advantage of EACS’s end-to-end cloud and business consultancy portfolio.”

Sentronex will continue to trade as a separate business but will be fully integrated into EACS.

Sentronex CEO Mark Parnell-Hopkinson, who will exit the business following the acquisition said that it was a great move for Sentronex and its clients.

“Sentronex customers gain an important level of scale and breadth of service provision that will be a big advantage to them and our employees”, he said.
