SoConnect CEO Gordon Sayers said: “Joining forces with Air IT is a landmark event for us. This acquisition broadens our scope and augments our capabilities, paving the way for new growth and innovation opportunities.”
Campbell Fraser, the founder of SoConnect, will relinquish his role as Executive Chair but remains committed to collaborating with Sayers and the Air IT team to advance the business’s presence in Scotland.
This acquisition marks the second for Air IT in 2024, following the purchase of SCS Technologies earlier in March. It is also the 13th acquisition for the ambitious Managed Service Provider (MSP), which continues to execute a vigorous buy-and-build strategy supported by private equity firm August Equity.
