Newcastle-based IT managed services provider Opal IT has been acquired by Gold Microsoft Partner inTEC Group, its 11th acquisition since 2016 and third this year.
The deal extends inTEC’s geographical reach into the north east and means it now has office sites in nine locations in the UK and Ireland.

inTEC CEO Simon Howitt commented: “The Opal IT team brings additional skills and value and together we will establish a stronger position.”
Opal IT MD Andy Metcalfe added: “With our shared values, vision and ethos, this partnership will deliver long-term stability for the business and continue growth and expansion of our operations."
