Arrow builds momentum with acquisition

Arrow is delighted to announce its acquisition of Inter-Group Communications, a Southport based provider of IP telephony, voice, network and managed services in the public and private sectors for over 30 years. The acquisition also includes its Bristol based subsidiary company, Budd Communications.

The integration of Inter-Group Communications, Arrow’s 4th acquisition in the last 3 years, will reinforce Arrow’s focus on the delivery of innovative telecoms services to the business market as well as strengthen headcount across its technical and engineering teams.

Arrow, headed by Chris Russell, specialises in telephony solutions for business users and offers a diverse connectivity portfolio ranging from SIP, Leased Lines, EFM and hosted telephony through to mobile voice, data, enterprise mobility security and professional services. “This acquisition is another great opportunity for Arrow to expand its nationwide customer base and provide further opportunities for growth across all of our product offerings” says Russell.

Cliff Barclay, owner of Inter-Group, was pleased to complete the deal stating, “Arrow is a great match with IGC and we are excited to be part of a larger team with access to an expanded business connectivity portfolio."

Customers, suppliers and employees of Inter-Group and Budd Communications will be integrated into the Arrow business which will be re-branded Arrow Business Communications Limited. Staff will continue to offer local support to their customer base and will operate from their existing premises.

Arrow continues to deliver against its strategy of stability and growth in 2013 by enhancing the range and depth of products provided to customers whilst developing overall customer experience by continued investment in innovative solutions and technical expertise.
