This was a great result for all parties and further deepens RSM’s M&A track record in the telecoms infrastructure market.’
Since its inception in 2005, Comvergent has developed a range of technological solutions to launch and maintain wireless networks. Based near Chester, Cheshire, the company operates throughout the United Kingdom. The company has recently grown as a result of position itself in key markets for mobile networks, a trend which is expected to intensify with the arrival of 5G.
Paul Garston, managing director of Comvergent commented; ‘The strategy we have pursued over the last five years has enabled us to consolidate the operational and commercial foundations of our business. Our integration into the Solutions 30 Group provides us with the financial resources we need to capture the potential of our markets and take full advantage of the growth opportunities available to us. Comvergent will also be able to build on Solutions 30’s track-record in Europe to strengthen its positioning and accelerate its growth.”
