Founded in 1992 by current CEO Roger Whittle after he fell in love with the Apple Mac during his year out, this Nottingham-based Apple reseller saw revenues, profits and cash creation all rise in a "strong" fiscal year to 31 May 2021. Delivering a 1:1 iPad scheme for Red Kite Learning Trust's 13 schools is among the case studies trumpeted on Alcuin Capital Partners-backed Jigsaw's homepage. It also counts Adobe, Avid, Jamf, Microsoft, HP and Cisco among its vendor chums.
Covid impact
Despite suffering a "severe contraction in activity" during the pandemic in traditional stomping grounds such as media and entertainment, Jigsaw24 said it has benefited from "increased opportunities" in the public sector. It recently completed the roll out of 11,000 iPads to care homes with low digital maturity.
