BCN Group bolsters portfolio with latest acquisition

Manchester-based IT cloud and managed services specialist, BCN Group, has acquired CMI, which has offices in London, Belfast and the Thames Valley, for an undisclosed sum.

Founded in 2009, CMI offers a complementary product set to BCN as specialists in Microsoft Modern Workplace, Microsoft Azure, cyber security and managed IT.

The acquisition will bolster BCN’s portfolio and expand its UK base, which currently sits at 1,200.

This is the second acquisition since ECI Partners invested in BCN in 2022, following on from the purchase of Microsoft Dynamics 365 specialists, Evo-soft, in September 2022.

Rob Davies, BCN Group CEO, said: “CMI’s complementary product and service offering allows us to increase our Microsoft customer base and strengthen our team of technical experts.

“Importantly, the acquisition means we can take our combined technical capability to the next level, further establishing BCN as a key player among UK Managed Service Providers.”

Ken Roulston, CMI managing director, said: “This is extremely positive news for our team and customers.

“The additional capabilities BCN Group brings will expand the support, skill set and technology available and create even stronger IT support.

“We are looking forward to aligning our offerings and provide our strengthened specialist support to our ever growing customer base.”
