Kerv snaps up Gyrocom: M&A news

Cloud and digital transformation services provider Kerv has snapped up SD-WAN specialist Gyrocom.

The move makes Kerv  a £50 million revenue business. The company was created through a three-way merger between DoubleEdge Professional Services, Foehn and Metaphor IT. It acquired Microsoft Dynamics and Power Platform specialist cloudThing in May.

Gyrocom has VMWare, Dell, Cisco, Palo Alto and Fortinet among its partners and has a growing presence in the retail market with customers like Kingfisher (B&Q and Screwfix), Wickes and Co-op.

Kerv executive chairman Alastair Mills said Gyrocom brings important new and strategic skills to Kerv across SD-WAN and SASE.

“Its growth trajectory and ability to win major network transformation contracts are testament to their capabilities and their product-market fit. In addition, and always important for Kerv, we’re confident that the team led by Graham, Ryan and Jane are an excellent cultural fit for our company dynamic, and they share our relentless focus on employee and customer experience.”

Kerv says that Gyrocom will operate as its “specialist networking and security division” and will “significantly enhance Kerv’s credentials” in transformed infrastructure.
