Ridgewall buys QDOS SBL

MSP Ridgewall Group has completed its fourth acquisition in just a year, snapping up hospitality-focused QDOS SBL at the same time as it revealed Inflexion as its new private equity investor.

Ridgewall offers a number of managed services around IT, print, cybersecurity and unified comms.

Dominic McAnaspie, CEO at Ridgewall, said: “I’m proud of the business we have built up at Ridgewall. For some time now we have felt there is a real opportunity to take a leading role in consolidating what we see as a fragmented industry. QDOS SBL is our fourth acquisition of 2019, and we are confident that Inflexion’s impressive track record in helping businesses grow through M&A as well as its technology knowledge and experience make it an ideal partner as we look to expand our company in this way.”

The combined business now employs over 100 people and has around 1,800 customers.

Inflexion managing partner Simon Turner, said: “Ridgewall’s success to date in developing long-term relationships, combined with its technical excellence, make it well placed to drive its future growth both organically and acquisitively. Management’s ambition and proven tenacity mean the company has the potential to become a unique international asset in the sector and we look forward to supporting them on that journey.”
