Berry picked by Babble in takeover deal
Salisbury-based telecommunications firm Berry Telecom has been acquired by cloud-based IT communications and collaboration services provider Babble.
Berry was one of two acquisitions announced by the technology provider, which has offices in Scotland, the North-West, Yorkshire, North-East, the Midlands, the South, South-East, the South-West and London.
Babble said Berry and Cavendish serve 1,700 and 700 customers respectively and these acquisitions provide their customers with the opportunity to enhance their technology and switch to cloud-based services.
“Both deals grow Babble’s Comms pillar and provide more strategic locations in the South and South-West of England,” said the firm.
The deal takes Babble to 21 acquisitions since 2019, with nine in 2021 and 6 so far in 2022 making it “the UK’s most acquisitive technology company, as recognised by ICON Corporate Finance.”
Matt Parker, Babble CEO, said: “Berry and Cavendish have a strong track record of providing their customers with an exceptional level of service.
“Where we will add value is bringing even more innovation and variety with the technology we can offer.
“We’re delighted to welcome more great talent into Babble and together we can evolve the technology estates of our new customers to enable them to grow faster and more securely.”
