We’re focused on accelerating our successful buy-and-build acquisition strategy in 2023, adding ambitious businesses that share the Group’s values on delivering excellent service to customers, as well as expanding our footprint in attractive global markets.

2022 was an exceptional year of growth for the Group and we are starting 2023 in a strong position with the acquisition of Sered, expanding our portfolio of brands to further enhance our international service offering for customers. We have a healthy acquisition pipeline building, and we welcome conversations with ambitious web hosting and associated service businesses that are looking to take the next step.
