Bristol cyber firm acquired by big fish Littlefish
Bristol-based cyber security firm Stripe OLT has been acquired by managed IT provider Littlefish Group.
The acquisition, said the parties, will enable Littlefish to further solidify its position in an expanding market and marked a major milestone in its strategic expansion.
The deal takes the buyer’s combined workforce to more than 900.
Littlefish Group’s long-term ambition is to become the UK’s leading end-to-end digital services provider, “leveraging deep Microsoft expertise to elevate workplace experiences and transform outcomes for their customers.”
The acquisition will enable Littlefish to significantly accelerate the expansion of its managed services and advanced cyber security operations across the UK.
Stripe OLT, it said, brings deep cyber expertise through its CREST-accredited SOC, threat detection, and offensive penetration testing capabilities.
Littlefisg CEO Ursula Morgenstern said: “This acquisition is a decisive step in how we scale the business.
“Our ambition is to build a truly end-to-end services organisation, with a user-centric approach at its core —to help organisations work smarter, reduce friction, operate safely and deliver better outcomes for their people.”
“Stripe OLT is a fast-growing, Microsoft-focused business with deep cyber capability and a culture that closely mirrors our own.
“Bringing their team into the group strengthens our security proposition, accelerates our growth, and meaningfully enhances the value we deliver to customers.”
Mark Dale, founder of Stripe OLT, added: “Joining Littlefish Group marks an exciting next chapter for our business.
“Having grown year on year since 2021, it was important to partner with an organisation that shares our ambition and values.”
“This move allows us to scale our impact, creating greater opportunities for our people and enhanced capabilities for our clients, while remaining focused on end-user centricity.”
