Manchester-based ISP and cloud services provider Unitel One Source has been snapped up by Telappliant, the first acquisition in an aggressive buy and build strategy.
Telappliant MD Tan Aksoy said: "Unitel One Source' ability to deliver infrastructure connectivity along with its technical team are an excellent fit for us."
Gary Nield, MD for Unitel One Source, added: "From our perspective this deal brings access to the London market, to greater reserves of financial and human capital, and the prospect of driving sales in much greater volumes.
"In return, Unitel will offer Telappliant access to new markets, an expanded network services portfolio and a creative team to drive innovation."
Unitel One Source will be fully integrated into Telappliant, which now plans to roll out a data services portfolio alongside its VoIP services.
