Stone Group has acquired gaming specialist DinoPC.
For those not in the know, DinoPC is an 11-year-old Intel Partner which flogs components and builds PCs under its brand.
Stone CEO Simon Harbridge said the acquisition would take Stone into the gaming and entertainment biz.
“The gaming sector and e-sports market is a successful and growing part of the UK economy, and a natural area in which our configure-to-order capabilities can provide a level of service consumers are looking for,” he said.
DinoPC turned over £3.5m in its financial year ending 30 April 2017 and will be used as a basis for Stone’s gaming division.
DinoPC founder Vladimir Kuzenetsov will run the new unit.
He said: “I have always been aware of Stone’s strong reputation and capability as an IT solutions provider and manufacturer of devices, which is why I am thrilled that DinoPC is becoming part of the business, and I look forward to my new role.”
