The UK's largest privately owned reseller in November 2022 committed £300m to fund acquisitions in its core markets of UK, France and Spain over the next five years.

SCC's UK business grew six per cent to £756m in its year to 31 March 2022, with the group total hitting £2.6bn.

Its UK product business performed "particularly well" during the period, growing eight per cent to £552m on the back of brisk security and enterprise sales. Services revenues were up a more muted two per cent to £204m.

Having snapped up two UK resellers in the first half of 2022 in the form of Civica's licensing business and audiovisual provider Visavvi, SCC signalled its intent to remain on the M&A trail with its new five-year investment "campaign". The move will consolidate its position as Europe's largest private investor in technology and underpin its "sustained multi-generational approach", it claimed.

The Birmingham-based outfit also launched two new Microsoft-focused organic businesses in 2022 in the form of SCC Hyperscale and SCC Cyber Services.
