Logiq swoops Savient in first-ever acquisition

The deal will aim to boost the firm’s tech capabilities and consolidate its UK footprint

London-HQ MSP and cyber consultancy Logiq has acquired Savient to expand its South West presence and strengthen its position in secure government and regulated sectors.

The acquisition brings the Gloucestershire-based firm’s team into Logiq and boosts its software consultancy, development and technical solutions capabilities.

Savient focuses on delivery in highly regulated environments and supports complex programmes subject to stringent operational constraints and assurance requirements.

Founded in 2018, Logiq employs 175 people and works with organisations across defence, central government and critical national infrastructure (CNI).

“Logiq has continued to deliver sustained organic growth and, whilst we’ve been deliberate about how we scale, this is a strategic acquisition that reinforces what we already do well,” said James Morgan, co-founder and CEO of Logiq.

“Savient has an exceptional reputation across government and we are excited to work alongside a highly capable team with deep experience of delivering in secure environments.

“Our capabilities are highly complementary and we’re excited to expand our presence within the UK’s cybersecurity capital.”

Andrew Alhadeff, MD of Savient, added: “There is a clear alignment with Logiq’s approach, and becoming part of Logiq allows us to scale that capability while continuing to support our clients with the same focus and expertise.”

The deal marks the firm’s first buyout and comes a few months after co-founder and CTO James Walker told CRN the organisation was exploring opportunities to expand geographically and bolster its capabilities.

“We’re open, but cautious; we don’t want to dilute our focus. We prefer targeted, strategic acquisitions that reinforce our niche,” he explained.

It also comes as Logiq reported increasing figures for the year ended 30 April 2025, driven by rising demand for managed services.

Turnover increased 5.5 per cent to £28.5m, up from £27m the previous year.

While consulting revenue declined around three per cent to £22m, services and solutions jumped 65 per cent to £5.9m.

Gross profit increased about 12 per cent to £18.9m.

Walker added managed services now account for around 20 per cent of the business and could grow in importance moving forward.

“I wouldn’t want managed services to drop below 20 per cent.

“If it could rise to 40 per cent or 60 per cent, that’d be fine too.”
