Marathon has acquired Horsham-based William Jarrod Partnership as the business continues a “period of rapid growth”.
William Jarrod Partnership is a cybersecurity-focused outfit that was founded in 2011 and offers services including security awareness training, disaster recovery and backup recovery, mobile device management and email security. Its staff will join Marathon as part of the acquisition.
Marathon has been doing well this year – it became a Microsoft Gold partner and Co-Sell accreditation as well as ISO 27001 certification companywide. It also moved into a new company headquarters in Chessington.
The business claims to have quadrupled in turnover over the last 12 months and has doubled its number of staff.
Marathon boss Iain Maclean said Marathon had seen some sustained organic growth over the last 12 months and making targeted acquisitions such as this is part of our strategy to augment our business.
Paul Daniels of William Jarrod Partnership added: “In Marathon, we have found an organisation that mirrors our own values and customer-centric ethos and we believe this move will benefit both our staff and customers. Marathon is a large enough business to offer enhanced services and opportunities, yet still of a size to retain the personal approach that our customers enjoy today.”
