Arrow Business Communications has acquired Cisco and Microsoft partner 360 Solutions.
This is the fifth acquisition the comms VAR has taken since it scored private-equity funding in 2016. CEO Chris Russell said that all of the 360 Solutions team will be joining Arrow. The move strengthens Arrow’s presence in the East Midlands and increases its UK-wide “footprint”.
“We are looking forward to working with the team at 360 Solutions as they will help to broaden our product portfolio, particularly around our Skype for Business and PCI-compliant solutions, and will further enhance our Mitel capabilities and the technical skill set of the Arrow Group”, the company said in a prepared statement.
Burton-on-Trent-based 360 Solutions counts Cisco, Microsoft, Mitel, O2 and NetApp among its partners, and offers things including virtualisation, cloud and networking.
The firm’s founder and main shareholder Oliver Marsden will remain with the business and manage a number of key customer accounts.
Marsden said: “Having started 360 Solutions with my brother Sam 15 years ago, I am excited to be joining a larger group that shares the same values and approach as I do. I can’t wait to get started.”
