Business internet provider
Timico UK has acquired yet another rival voice and data communications provider (they also recently acquired
NewNet and
Powernet too) after it gobbled up London-based
Redwood Telecommunications for an undisclosed sum.
Tim Radford, Chairman of the Timico Technology Group, said:
"The acquisition of Redwood is an exciting step forward for Timico. Redwood has a solid heritage in unified communications, a London office and a strong relationship with its customers.
The expertise and breadth of IP telephony and unified communication services that Redwood offers will complement the mobile, data networking and hosting expertise we have elsewhere in the group. There is a strong cultural fit and its London base will enable Timico to build a presence in this important market."
Charlie Whelpton, Redwood's Managing Director and co-Founder, added:
"We are extremely excited about integrating our skills and expertise into the Timico group, to extend the range of services Timico offers to its customers. In turn we can see the enormous potential to offer Timico’s extensive products and services set within our client base. Both companies share a strong customer service ethic and the geographical blend will enable Timico and Redwood to extend their reach."
Redwood is known to
employ 28 staff from their London office and its field-based engineers support prominent customers such as
Broadgate Estates,
Clarksons plc,
General Mills,
Glasses Direct and
Jimmy Choo.
Whelpton clarified that he would continued to manage Redwood as an
independent subsidiary within the Timico Group, which is similar to Timico's arrangement with Powernet and NewNet
