We’re excited to announce that we’ve secured a £2.25 million investment from one of the UK’s leading private equity firms, Maven Capital Partners. This strategic investment will drive our ambitious growth plans, including both organic expansion and a targeted buy-and-build strategy.
Growth Plans
The investment, secured through Maven’s private equity co-investment network, positions us for significant growth. With acquisition opportunities already at advanced stages, the funding will enable us to enhance our service offerings and extend our market reach. In fact, we are in the final stages of completing an acquisition that will immediately increase our scale, strengthen our expertise, and bring additional value to our customers.
Since we were founded in 2012, we’ve established ourselves as a trusted technology partner for a diverse range of UK and international clients. Our comprehensive suite of IT and infrastructure services includes operating our own advanced Next Generation Network, providing high-speed internet services that meet the evolving needs of performance-driven businesses.
Building on Proven Success
Our growth trajectory has been impressive, with a 27% increase in revenues over the past two years. This investment will assist us in accelerating this momentum by:
Executing a robust M&A strategy to integrate complementary businesses.
Expanding our customer base and increasing upselling opportunities.
Strengthening brand awareness through strategic marketing investments.
As part of this strategy, we are finalising an acquisition that will enhance our market presence and expand the range of services we provide. This is just the beginning of our long-term vision to build a stronger, more resilient technology solutions provider.
Our Director, Fraser Ferguson, commented: “Partnering with Maven marks a significant milestone for KubeNet and we are excited to work with a private equity firm that shares our vision and importantly, understands our sector. At KubeNet we have a clear M&A strategy to align with our current organic growth, and this investment will accelerate our ambitious growth plans and further scale our proven and innovative solutions to a wider UK market.”
Positioned to Capitalise on Industry Trends
The IT and telecoms sector continues to experience strong demand, driven by digital transformation, increased cybersecurity requirements, and the shift to cloud-based solutions. With the UK Managed Services market projected to grow at a 12% CAGR between 2023 and 2027, we’re well-positioned to capitalise on these trends.
Our advanced IT infrastructure and strong industry reputation, reinforced by certifications such as ISO and Cyber Essentials Plus, highlight our commitment to data security and service excellence.
A Partnership for Long-Term Growth
This investment underscores the confidence Maven has in our growth strategy.
Andrew Muirhead, senior investment manager, said: "We are delighted to have secured this off-market opportunity for our investors, backing a well-established, profitable business with increasing levels of contracted revenues and operating in a market that is forecast for long-term growth.
“We have been impressed by managements’ plans for scaling the business, which includes a strong acquisition pipeline of highly complementary businesses that will expand its service capabilities, achieve operational efficiencies, and ultimately accelerate growth.”
Looking Ahead
With this new investment, we’re set to solidify our position as a leader in managed IT services and technology solutions. By utilising our expertise, strong partnerships with industry leaders like Cisco, Datto, and Microsoft, and a customer focused approach, we’re ready to take on the next stage of our journey.
And this is only the start, our upcoming acquisition will further strengthen our capabilities and position us for even greater success. Expect more updates soon as we continue to expand and deliver even greater value to businesses across the UK.
