Its traditional telecoms market has been changing, bringing with it new revenue opportunities which the company has developed strongly, in areas such as unified communications, video conferencing, security and networking. I believe that the combined skill sets and capabilities of Midwich and Nimans bring a unique offering into the market in terms of providing complex solutions involving multiple technologies."

We have known the Nimans team for many years, and I believe there is a great cultural fit between the two businesses.”
