IT managed services provider Imerja has been snapped up by Intercity Technology for an undisclosed sum. The deal builds on Intercity's acquisition of cloud communications, network services and hosting company Gage Networks earlier this year.
Headquartered in Bolton, Imerja also has offices in Hertfordshire and Leicestershire.
All Imerja staff, including the senior management team, will be retained post-completion.
Imerja adds depth to Intercity's service offering, and has been providing a range of IT services to the public sector and enterprise clients since it was established in 2004.
The business holds a number of accreditations and gives Intercity access to public sector frameworks including all four lots of the Government Digital Marketplace G-Cloud.
Imerja also provides a range of hosted and cloud services from its two UK tier3 data centres, is accredited to ISO 14001, ISO9001, ISO27001 and is an approved Commercial N3 Aggregator, operating around the clock supporting its customers infrastructure from its UK Network Operations Centre.
Andrew Jackson, CEO of Intercity (pictured), said: "Imerja brings a deep expertise in IT managed services and security which allows us to offer our customers complete technology solutions across IT and telecoms. There is a strong cultural fit between our businesses."
Ian Jackson, MD of Imerja, added: "Being part of Intercity Technology will provide us with range of mobility and communications solutions to sit alongside our existing IT services."
Jonathan Boyers, Head of Corporate Finance for KPMG in the north and lead advisor on the deal, commented: "Imerja's track record in providing secure IT solutions to enterprise and public sector organisations meant that it was a natural fit for Intercity Technology.
"The combined capability created by this acquisition, coupled with the addition of the experienced Imerja management team, will add significant strength to Intercity Technology's existing portfolio of communications and IT services."
