"We wanted a name that does what it says on the box", the CEO of this acquisitive London-based MSP, Peter Sweetbaum, told CRN in September as it rebranded from IT Lab. The Microsoft cloud specialist saw revenue bulge 39 per cent to £71.8m in its year to 31 March 2020. During the year, it acquired IT support outfit Mirus and Azure specialist Sol-Tec for a combined £24.8m. Although £26m of acquisition costs and non-cash items pushed it to a £19.6m net loss, pro-former EBITDA topped £10m.
