Aspire Technology Solutions, a provider of managed IT and cyber security solutions, has acquired CloudCoCo, an experienced managed service provider headquartered in Leeds.

The deal is a key part of Aspire’s plan to expand its UK presence and further strengthen its ability to deliver managed IT services, robust security solutions, and integrated modern workplace technology to clients across multiple industries.

Aspire explains CloudCoCo’s established relationships, skilled team, and expertise in managed IT, cloud, and unified communications will enable the Aspire Group to provide more tailored, responsive services that address the evolving needs of businesses across sectors.

The acquisition will bring over £10m in additional revenue and approximately 300 new customers to Aspire, which is backed by private equity firm LDC.

Chris Fraser, Aspire CEO and founder, said: “While CloudCoCo has undergone a period of structural transition, what truly stood out to us was its strong relationships with its high-quality customer base and the expertise within its team.

“These strengths align perfectly with our commitment to delivering technology like no other.

“This acquisition not only broadens our reach but also enhances our ability to offer responsive, innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.

“The CloudCoCo team will be an important part of Aspire’s next chapter, and together, we’re ready to make an even greater impact across key UK regions.”

Darren Weston, group operations director at CloudCoCo Ltd, added: “Joining Aspire represents an exciting new phase for CloudCoCo.

“We look forward to working closely with Chris and the team to expand our reach, deliver added value, and provide a wider range of innovative solutions.

“Aspire’s commitment to excellence aligns well with our own, it’s a powerful collaboration with a trusted UK technology provider that shares our values and goals.”
