The deal follows a successful period of organic growth for Intercity across its Communications, Cloud Security and Managed Services divisions. The purchase is part of the company’s strategy for supporting this organic growth with acquisitions.
Established in 1986, Chandler Communications is based in Northampton and is a family-run business with over 350 customers across the UK. According to Birmingham-headquartered Intercity, the two companies’ people-first approach to business and family-owned background make the two organisations an ‘ideal fit’.
The deal sees Chandler Communications colleagues become part of Intercity, with the business’s Northampton site joining Intercity’s network of UK offices.
Andrew Jackson, CEO of Intercity (pictured above) said the company is delighted to welcome Chandler Communications to the group, commenting: “Having seen how this well-managed business has grown over the last 30 years, and the care the team put into building long-term partnerships with customers, we recognised the huge synergies between our two organisations.”
Perry Chandler, director and co-founder of Chandler Communications, added: “After thoroughly enjoying the past 36 years, and for very personal reasons, it’s time to hand over the reins. I’ve looked for a company who hold the same important values at their core as I do and have found this in abundance at Intercity.”
