Kick acquires Dundee’s C2 Software

Cloudy reselling outfit, Kick has acquired Microsoft Dynamics business C2 Software.

The deal is Kick’s ninth in eight years as the business continues to focus on expanding its service offerings to customers across the UK.

The deal is designed to grow Kick’s Dynamics division – with more product options, services, and support for both SMEs and large enterprises.

By acquiring a specialist in Microsoft Dynamics services, Kick is hoping to continue its expansion as an IT service provider in the UK.

C2 Software was founded by Finlay Carmichael and has been running for more than 25 years. Based in Dundee, C2 offers Dynamics-related products and services to customers all over the UK.

With the acquisition of C2 Software Limited, Kick said it will see run rate turnover increase to over £30 million, and recurring revenues to £20.5 million.

Kick now employs 170 staff and expects numbers to increase further.

Tom O’Hara, CEO of Kick ICT, said: “Over the past year, Kick has seen tremendous growth, successfully integrating our 2021 and 2022 acquisitions. With C2 joining us, our Dynamics team is now stronger than ever and I’m looking forward to collaborating with Finlay, Kirk, and the wider team.

Finlay Carmichael, director at C2,  said: “We are delighted to be joining the team at Kick and are looking forward to delivering innovative Microsoft Dynamics solutions to customers across the Group.”
