Communicate acquires 20-year-old managed service provider

Communicate, a provider of cyber security and network infrastructure solutions, has acquired York Data Services, its fourth acquisition and first since partnering with private equity investor Rockpool Investments in June this year.

The latest buy is part of Communicate’s ongoing buy-and-build strategy to expand its service offering and network coverage. York Data Services significantly increases the group’s network coverage across Northern England and London.

Tony Snaith, CEO of Communicate, said: “We are integrating York Data Services and their talented team, their underlying network infrastructure and fantastic customer base. We look forward to further developing and nurturing long term relationships with both the team and customers over the coming months.”

Mark Fordyce, founder of York Data Services, added: “We are proud of our reputation for customer care, passion and transparency, built up over 20 years. Communicate gives the opportunity to build on that reputation by investing in our team and our key services of connectivity, telecoms and managed solutions. We look forward to working with the team at Communicate to grow our customer base across the region and the UK.”
