SCS broadens offering with acquisition

WARRINGTON-based SCS Technologies has acquired Northwich satellite installation specialists Viewcomms for an undisclosed sum.

SCS Technologies is a technology installation and maintenance company, delivering a range of multi-media solutions including audio, video, fibre and TV systems to the public and private sector.

The firm, which has been operating for 24 years, has now bought the Northwich-based satellite and cable installation firm.

The sale was assisted by North West corporate finance specialists MC Vanguard and Warrington based FDR Law – acting on behalf of SCS Technologies.

SCS founder and director Mike Jeffery said the move will broaden its service offering, skill and knowledge base to help drive greater market share, both across the region and nationwide.

“We have spent more than two decades building SCS into the successful business it is today through organic growth,” said Jeffery.

“Acquisitions across the North West are a key part of our growth strategy and given their vast experience of the SME market, we sought the expertise of MC Vanguard to guide us through our latest acquisition.

“We found the team to be extremely proactive, ready to act quickly when needed and always providing a balanced view to help get the deal to a positive conclusion for all involved. We are very grateful for their invaluable advice and support throughout the process. We look forward to continue to work with them going forwards.”
 
Viewcomms owner and managing director Steve Bushell, who will continue to work in the business, said the businesses share many core values.

He said: “We are extremely proud of what we have achieved at Viewcomms. It was crucial to us that we paired with a buyer who shared our ethos and who could develop the business in the right way.

“SCS is passionate about providing clients with pioneering technologies, systems and services from one single source.

MC Vanguard director Robin Gower said: “We have been working closely with the SCS Technologies ltd management team for a number of months to support their expansion and acquisition plan.”
