Node4 makes its largest ever acquisition

Derby-based Cloud MSP Node4 has acquired Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner TNP.

It is the outfit’s largest acquisition after it was bought by Providence Equity partners from PE firms Bowmark Capital and LDC.

TNP flogs dynamics 365 Business Central, Power Apps and Power BI gear and bills itself as the “largest pure-play Microsoft partner in the UK”.

CEO of Node4 Andrew Gilbert said that everything from its leadership and team to culture and capabilities resonates with Node4’s approach.

“They have an ambitious and compelling organic growth plan in an important segment of the technology industry and TNP’s technical capabilities and credentials in NAV, Business Central and Power Platform ideally complement Node4’s already comprehensive portfolio of services.”

Node4 says the acquisition will “bring a wide range of complementary skills” to its offering while “significantly enhancing” its end-to-end managed services portfolio.

TNP will continue to operate as an individual business unit under the leadership of Paul White, executive chairman, with the support of Paul Wellingham, chief commercial officer, and Ian Humphries, founder and chief architect.
