Brighton based business ISP Mistral Internet is to re-brand under the name of its new owners, Kingston Communications, which is part of the KCOM Group. Mistral was acquired by KCOM Group PLC earlier this year:
Andrew Tapley, Managing Director of Kingston Communications explained, Kingston Communications is widely recognised as a top level network and internet services provider, so this brand provides many synergies with the high bandwidth connectivity and leading edge hosting services that Mistral delivers to businesses across the UK. We think it is a natural progression to phase out the Mistral Internet brand and replace it with Kingston Communications.
Kingston, which originally acquired the ISP for a cash consideration of £19.6 million, began the re-branding process at the start of this week. It may be worth keeping an eye on another of KCOMs kin, Eclipse Internet, to see if anything changes there in the future too.
