Air snaps up two more companies

Air IT has snapped up two MSPs in a merger and acquisition spree.

New CEO James Steventon has written a check for Silverbug and Scoria which are Air IT’s ninth and tenth acquisitions since August Equity invested in the Nottingham-based firm in 2020.

The company now has 400 staff and client base to 2,200 and turns in £8.2 million in its most recently filed annual accounts, Silverbug is based in Milton Keynes. Scoria, meanwhile, has its HQ in London.

Air IT virtually trebled revenues to £29.7 million in calendar 2021, accounts for its holding company show. It is forecasting a 2022 haul of £39 million.

Air does a double deal

MSP Air IT has made its fourth double acquisition in the space of a year.

The outfit has just written a cheque for Reading-based MFG UK and Uttoxeter-based Infinity IT Solutions Limited for undisclosed sums.

The rationale for Air IT’s latest purchases is to extend the company’s geographic reach, as well as adding more expertise to its MSP portfolio. The addition of the latest two businesses adds 270 staff to the group headcount and will give it more muscle in the south-east and the Midlands.

Air IT CEO John Whitty said the aim was to be the go-to MSP and MSSP for SMEs across the UK, delivering a local service on a national scale.
