Cellular Solutions is a specialist in the delivery of mobile services and communications solutions for businesses. It serves customers across the Southeast from its offices in Brighton through partnerships with O2 and Vodafone.
The founders of both companies first met in Brighton twenty years ago, with their relationship evolving over the years through shared ambitions, business opportunities and best practices.
Ralph Gilbert, co-founder and director, Focus Group (pictured), said, “We’ve been knocking on Cellular’s door for years, clear in the knowledge it was a strong business and one with which we wanted to join forces. In a bid to win them over, I even let them triumph in the odd lockdown Zoom quiz. Well that’s my side of the story!
“In all seriousness, beyond their distinct dedication to business communications and enviable reputation in the Southeast, they’re arguably one of the best teams out there and our long-standing friendship will provide the perfect foundation for an exciting future together.”
Damian Mottram, founder and CEO, Cellular Solutions, added, “Whilst it was never going to be an easy decision to sell such an incredible, high-quality mobile and fixed telecoms business that we and so many wonderful past and present people have poured energies into since 1999, the time is right and it has been the correct decision to head into the future with Focus Group.
“We have a deep-rooted respect for the Focus team; there has been a commonality of engagement and enjoyment in working within our marketplace combined with all-around long-standing positive relationships. We have absolutely no doubt they will take very good care of our people and our customers.”
Focus Group secured new investment from Hg last month to support its growth in the UK.
