Rainbow Global Network Services has acquired the customer base of mobile company 3G Ltd for an undisclosed sum. 3G has been providing mobile hardware and mobile solutions to the business community since 1989. The company, based in Sussex, offers a range of mobile products including handsets and tablets, and provides voice and data packages across all the major network carriers.
Rainbow MD Dave Corgat commented: "The acquisition of the 3G Ltd customer base is part of our strategy to build the mobile side of our business, both organically and through acquisition.
"It is something we have been pushing for the past 18 months, partly via the integration of mobile with our other services, and partly by expanding our data service portfolio into the mobile market."
David King, MD of 3G, added: "We have been trading in this industry for over 25 years and as you can imagine have seen tremendous changes both in product and service. We have built a sound business and consider many of our customers to be friends.
"However, Rainbow offers such a wide choice of services which more and more need to be linked up to mobile and the whole mobility piece, and with its skill sets and the flexibility of its billing platform we believe our customers will be better served."
