Hampshire: Amicus ITS completes management buyout

Award-winning Hampshire IT company Amicus ITS has announced the completion of a management buyout by its senior management team, led by managing director Steve Jackson.

Jackson said: “This is an exciting moment in the company’s 27-year history and represents a huge opportunity for the business to build on its reputation as one of the UK’s leading managed-service providers.

"We have a very clear vision about our plans for the company’s strategic growth and expansion over the next five years and beyond.  We are actively expanding our strong partner base across the UK and are already working with other like-minded organisations which share our values and vision to deliver improvements in the IT-and-security environments for businesses nationally.”

Amicus recently launched Cloud First, its all-encompassing IT-support service dedicated for SMEs which includes a highly-flexible and secure backup solution. It is leading the way in Cyber Security threat management and prevention across the UK. The company was awarded official government supplier status in 2015 for providing IT-managed services within the public sector, and is also a confirmed supplier on the G-Cloud 7 digital marketplace for cloud services.  

Jackson continued: “I am pleased to say that we will continue to work closely with Care UK.  We provide the full spectrum of IT-managed services for 10.4 million people in the UK for NHS out-of-hours services.  The core of our business remains our 24x365 UK service-desk and network-operations-centre staff who monitor and support all our corporate and healthcare customers.”
