Speculation over Affiniti bid

Buyout bid for Affiniti expected, say analysts

Integrator Affiniti is staying tight-lipped on speculation that it is set for a change in ownership as speculation mounts that parent KCom is coming under pressure to break up.

According to national press reports, private equity firms could make a bid for the company with a view to demerging Affiniti from KCom’s telecoms business.
Martin St Quinton, chief executive at rival Azzurri, said: “It would make a lot of sense if Affiniti was sold because KCom is very much a sum-of-parts business.”
KCom refused to comment.
