Harrogate telecoms company acquired by Leeds-based national provider
Harrogate telecoms company Xi Communications has been acquired by Apollo Cloud, a national communication technology company based in Leeds.
Xi Communications provides advanced telecoms products and services to SMEs across Yorkshire. Based in Windsor House on Cornwall Road, it has been led by directors Martin Taylor and Tony Mellor since 2014.
Mr Taylor and Mr Mellor will both join Apollo Cloud as area directors, and the company’s 160 customers will continue to enjoy service continuity from the same known and trusted team.
Martin Taylor said:
Apollo Cloud shares our service-first ethos, and our customers will gain the best of both worlds. They keep the personal service they value and gain seamless access to new solutions across telephony, Microsoft Teams integration, business mobiles and internet connectivity.
It is an exciting step for our team and for our clients, and we are confident this move will unlock fresh investment, faster project delivery and a wider range of expertise for every customer we support.
This is Apollo Cloud’s first acquisition since the business launched three years ago. Co-founder and chief executive Jonathan Marsden said Apollo Cloud shared the same values and commitment to customers as Xi Communications, whose customers would gain access to a wider range of products and support.
He said:
Together, we will accelerate innovation for next-generation communications, stronger resilience and a larger team of specialists to support growth and productivity.
We are combining scale with continuity. Xi Communications customers will continue to be served by the same trusted team, with Apollo Cloud’s national footprint, certified engineering capability, expanded service portfolio and enhanced support capacity behind them.
Apollo Cloud, which was founded in 2022, provides VoIP telephony, unified communications, business mobiles and internet connectivity to a diverse UK and international customer base.
The advisers on the deal were GS Verde Group for Apollo Cloud and Harrowells Limited for XI Communications.
