Deverill grows with 802.UK

Poole-based VAR acquires assets and business of wireless technology reseller

Poole-based VAR Deverill has started down the acquisition path by snapping up the assets and business of Surrey-based wireless technology reseller 802.UK.

The acquisition, for an undisclosed sum, will strengthen Deverill’s solutions and services portfolio and provide 802.UK with the financial investment to realise its growth plans, the firms said. 802.UK will retain its name and trade as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Deverill Group.

Gary Hudson, managing director of 802.UK, said: “The credibility and financial strength of Deverill means that we can take this business to the next level.”

Joel Jervis, chief executive of Deverill, said: “802.UK is a rising star and will complement our own IT infrastructure and wireless networking expertise.” C
