This latest acquisition showcases our commitment to both expanding our reach and continuing to provide high-quality telecommunication solutions to businesses across the UK. With this in mind, I’d like to reiterate that we will continue to welcome discussions from any other businesses looking to sell either their business as a whole, or customer bases.”
Jon Stump, Connect365’s Director, added, “This deal with 4Com is an exciting development for the future of Connect365 and our valued customers. After initial discussions with 4Com, we had every confidence that the deal would progress smoothly with full transparency along the way, and we were pleased to be proved right. We trust that with 4Com’s expertise and services, our former customers will be in the best hands.”
Dean Cartledge, 4Com’s Chief Operating Officer, commented, “To say this time last year we had only completed 3 acquisitions, and we have now completed our 15th is absolutely remarkable and an incredible achievement. We are proud of the positive feedback that we receive about the smooth and straightforward process of our acquisition deals; a reputation we are committed to uphold. I’d like to thank the teams at both 4Com and Connect365 for their hard work and dedication throughout the whole process and look forward to welcoming our new customers to the 4Com family.”
Haydn Neville, 4Com’s Acquisitions Manager, added, “It was an absolute pleasure to work alongside Jon and his team to complete our latest deal. I wish them all the best and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for Connect365. I’d like to remind any other businesses that are interested in selling their company as a whole, or a customer base, to get in touch. I will always be as transparent as possible about what we’re able to offer, and I’m happy to have informal discussions with any telecom companies that are interested in selling.”
