Swindon-based Excalibur Communications's acquisition of local IT services company Sensata bolsters its ambition to become a dominant regional force in the provision of business IT and connectivity, and comes hot on the heels of Excalibur's IT business division notching up a record quarter.
Sensata designs, installs and supports IT networks for SMEs in the Swindon area and is Excalibur's third IT company acquisition in 18 months.
Sensata founders Christopher and Janet Griffin stay on with Excalibur and all staff join Excalibur's HQ team at Arclite House.
Excalibur CEO Peter Boucher (pictured) stated: "This acquisition, in particular, accelerates the growth and opportunities for us in our home town."
Chris Griffin added: "It was important for us to secure an agreement that would provide security for our staff and continuity of service for our customers."
