Third acquisition completed for growing IT services specialist

Yorkshire-based IT specialist Fresh Mango Technologies (UK) has successfully completed its acquisition of Verus Solutions.

Verus Solutions, headquartered near Skipton, is a full-service IT support provider, with services including outsourced IT support, computer systems and server supply and installation, with the main focus on local companies in and around Skipton, North Yorkshire and adjoining Lancashire.

Fresh Mango already provides an extensive range of business IT services to clients in all business sectors across the Yorkshire region from offices in Leeds and Ripon.

Now that portfolio includes the Craven district and the North West of England following the addition of Verus Solutions’ clients.

Paul Roach, director of Verus Solutions, said: “Due to our close and long-standing relationships with our clients it was crucial for us to find an organisation that shared the same values as us, while at the same time having sufficient scale to provide the highest levels of customer service.

“Fresh Mango demonstrated this throughout our discussions with them.”

Fresh Mango’s managing director, Guy Phoenix, said this is the third acquisition by his company. He noted Verus Solutions is close enough to provide operational integration, but far away enough to have a wider customer base.

Phoenix added: “Their offering and ethos is almost identical to ours with a customer reach beyond Yorkshire’s borders.

“The Fresh Mango mission is to bring much-needed first-class IT support to even more SMEs. Verus Solutions will help us to continue to fulfil that mission and we’re pleased they’re now part of the Fresh Mango family.”

Fresh Mango’s three UK sites and a fourth in the British Virgin Islands provide a combination of local onsite support coupled with remote IT Support. Its customer base embraces a variety of sectors such as finance, law, logistics and agriculture.

The company also builds and supports WordPress websites and supports a range of applications and devices including Microsoft, Apple and Google.
