Cloudy Riverlite has buyout Xperience

Xperience has snapped up MSP Riverlite in a bid to improve its East of England experience.

For those not in the know, Riverlite offers cloud, cybersecurity and managed services to education, charities, hospice and private sector customers. It is run by managing director Paul Oggelsbt and chairman Mark Shields.

Xperience claims the deal creates “one of the biggest managed IT service providers in the East of England”, adding to its existing operations in Peterborough and Bury St Edmunds.

It is Xperience’s second acquisition within six months, having previously acquired Bury St Edmunds-based MSP Green Duck in October 2021.

The company’s headcount will grow from 42 percent to 150 staff, and increase its turnover to roughly £21.5 million and claims to support more than 1,150 clients across the UK and Ireland.

Irish Xperience bags a green duck

Northern Irish MSP Xperience has acquired East of England based Green Duck, an MSP which offers cloud, cybersecurity and other managed IT services.

Xperience’s MD Iain O’Kane said the outfit wanted to make at least three acquisitions as part of a plan to expand in the UK and double its revenues over the next three years.

The Green Duck acquisition will “combine two businesses with a common focus on delivering the best digital transformation solutions for companies across the UK” along with synergies such as hoisin sauce and pancakes (we made the last two up).

O’Kane said: “Growth across the UK is a strategic priority and Green Duck was a natural fit for our business with a similar culture and values.
