Established Harrogate telecoms company, Xi Communications, has been acquired by Yorkshire-based communication technology company, Apollo Cloud.
The company, which has been headed by Martin Taylor and Tony Mellor since 2014, provides advanced telecoms products and services to SMEs across Yorkshire and has built a reputation for expertise and personable customer care.
Martin and Tony will both join Apollo Cloud as Area Directors, and the company’s 160 customers will continue to enjoy service continuity from the same known and trusted team.
Martin Taylor says:
Apollo Cloud shares our service-first ethos, and our customers will gain the best of both worlds. They keep the personal service they value and gain seamless access to new solutions across telephony, Microsoft Teams integration, business mobiles and internet connectivity.
It is an exciting step for our team and for our clients, and we are confident this move will unlock fresh investment, faster project delivery and a wider range of expertise for every customer we support.
This is Apollo Cloud’s first acquisition since the business launched three years ago. Co-founder and CEO Jonathan Marsden says the move brings together two strong businesses with shared values and commitment to customers and gives XI Communications’ customers access to a wider range of solutions and support:
We are thrilled to welcome Xi Communications to Apollo Cloud. The team has a reputation for excellent service and a loyal customer base. Together, we will accelerate innovation for next-generation communications, stronger resilience and a larger team of specialists to support growth and productivity.
We are combining scale with continuity. Xi Communications customers will continue to be served by the same trusted team, with Apollo Cloud’s national footprint, certified engineering capability, expanded service portfolio and enhanced support capacity behind them.
Apollo Cloud is an ambitious company, founded in 2022 with a focused growth plan. The business provides VoIP telephony, unified communications, business mobiles and internet connectivity to a diverse UK and international customer base, serving sectors including professional services, logistics, education, healthcare and manufacturing, among others.
The advisors on the deal were GS Verde Group for Apollo Cloud and Harrowells Limited for XI Communications.
