Home News room ACORA EXPANDS WITH LATEST ACQUISITION
Acora is a UK based, award-winning IT services and technology company with over 25 years’ experience. We provide a range of IT support and Microsoft-centric business software and cloud solutions to help mid-market organisations modernise their IT so they can compete and win in the digital economy. More than 200 clients trust us to take responsibility for part, or all of their IT from solution design to support.
We are delighted to confirm our acquisition of M9 Limited – a thriving and forward-looking IT services provider with over 40 staff, and nearly 100 long-term contracted customers. Based in London, M9 also has an established offshore team in Kuala Lumpur. With its high-quality talent, effective management team, proven managed services and cloud expertise, and relevant sector experience, M9 is a great fit with our own operation, capabilities and culture.
“This latest off-market acquisition underpins our focus of finding the very best businesses in the most strategically important sectors and segments for Acora. In addition, it will further extend our now significant London footprint in terms of people and customers. We plan to invest in and grow the teams in both London and Kuala Lumpur, while uniting the best of both organisations. For our combined customers, our focus will be very much Led by Experience in terms of innovation, service and support, and the deal comes at a very exciting time for the company following our brand launch earlier in October.”David Rabson, Chief Executive, Acora

They can also be reassured that we have secured our long-term future as a key supplier through this new investment in our people, processes and systems, from an organisation that shares our culture and values.” Grant Ingram, Chief Executive Officer, M9
