Lake Technologies

Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Acquisition Acquisition, Telecoms 2020 Acquisition Analytic Services Business Acquisition Business Aquired Business Sale Buy-Side Buyside M&A Case Studies Disposal Financial Due Diligence Fundraising and M&A advice IT Managed Services IT MSP M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme Media Merger Multiple R&D Tax Claims Sell-Side Sell-side M&A Advice Technology Telecoms Babble Cloud Ltd. recently announced that it had acquired Lake Technologies Ltd; the second acquisition that Babble has made so far in 2020. Overall, it is the fourth deal build by the firm to help spur further growth and transformation since it received private equity backing in 2017 from LDC. Lake Technologies has provided business telephony and network services to its customers for over 26 years, who will now be able to take advantage of Babble’s ability to offer agile and efficient cloud-based solutions to organisations, allowing them to adapt to the changing working environments. The Challenge Evolution Capital conducted several face-to-face meetings with the owners of Lake Technologies who then decided that the right time had arrived to sell their business. Evolution Capital provided guidelines to the Lake management team and shareholders with the production of the relevant business information for them to conduct an independent process to sell the business. Neil Needham, out-going Commercial Director of Lake Technologies, said “We have had an on-going relationship with Evolution Capital for some time and informed them of our intention to sell the company and asked them to find us some suitable buyers for the business. They put together a MOI and committed to find a suitable buyer. Acknowledging that confidentiality,knowing the marketplace and having relationships with buyers was key to the successful sale of the business the shareholders entrusted Evolution Capital to find a buyer that matched their criteria. The first potential acquirer they introduced us to had detailed and exacting criteria, which we matched completely, and the sales process started and ultimately completed very smoothly. Our main concern was the effect on the process of the COVID-19 lock-down as my previous experience of business disposal required a great deal of personal contact with the buyers. We had only met Babble, the eventual acquirers, on two occasions before lock-down but such was the detailed and efficiency shown by all parties that any ‘rocks in the road’ were dealt with quickly.” A successful outcome Despite the effects of the pandemic, the deal was efficiently concluded in good time; proof positive that carefully delineated buying criteria and a detailed timetable can be met and achieved in the most trying of business environments. Matt Parker, Babble’s CEO said, “This is another step on Babble’s rapidly accelerating ride towards £100m as we seek further acquisitions in partnership with LDC. I am delighted to have acquired another high-quality business in Lake Technologies. Both businesses have a focus on improving productivity and increasing customer engagement and organisational resilience whilst reducing costs, to deliver a rapid return on investment for clients.” Neil Needham now part of the Leadership Team Integration& Digital Transformation at Babble continues, “During our 26 years in the telecoms industry at Lake, we focused heavily on creating a robust business model that delivered fixed, recurring revenues which were exactly what Babble was looking for. Our operational discipline in producing highly detailed management information also served us well during the due diligence period and a good working relationship with Babble’s CEO Matt Parker enabled us to overcome any obstacles that arose during the process.” More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Business Sale Margolis Technology Acquisition Lake Technologies Buyside M&A iTalk Categories Acquisition Analytic Services Business Acquisition Business Aquired Business Sale Buy-Side Buyside M&A Case Studies Disposal Financial Due Diligence Fundraising and M&A advice IT Managed Services IT MSP M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme Media Merger Multiple R&D Tax Claims Sell-Side Sell-side M&A Advice Technology Telecoms Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Business Sale, Case Studies, Telecoms Margolis Technology December 2, 2025 Acquisition, Case Studies, Telecoms Lake Technologies December 2, 2025 Buyside M&A, Case Studies, Telecoms iTalk December 2, 2025 Business Sale, Case Studies, Telecoms Maintel December 2, 2025 Acquisition, Case Studies, Technology HSO December 2, 2025 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.

Today, Reeves Lund provides integrated IT and unified communications services to a growing London centric and blue-chip customer base. Reeves Lund prides itself on the exceptional levels of customer service which it provides to its clients. Reeves Lund, a highly cash generative and profitable London City-based communications technology provider, was sold to Arrow Business Communications in early 2018 with the entire sales process taking just nine months. Having run the business since its founding in 1986, the owners had been considering their exit strategy for some time but had yet to find a buyer who not only fitted their profile, but also tendered an offer which reflected the true value of their business. The Challenge It was then that Reeves Lund appointed Evolution Capital, to help them achieve maximum value from the sale of their business. Evolution Capital’s unique industry approach started with a strategic review to ensure it comprehensively understood the business as well as the owners’ requirements and objectives right from the start. The in-depth review included: A comprehensive review to fully understand the business and its intrinsic value Guidance on effectively removing any potential transaction issues A foundation for a formal sales process and the target market landscape. An information platform preparing the business for sale to include preferential buyer due diligence investigation Reeves Lund’s owners then made an informed decision to commence a sales process. Advice, Planning and preparation Evolution Capital prepared an anonymous teaser and a detailed Information Memorandum (“IM”), which helped to optimally present the opportunity to potential acquirers and drew a significant number of qualified,interested parties to the process. These documents gave the prospective buyers a clear and insightful view of Reeves Lund and the possibility of creating additional value in their own businesses. Evolution Capital’s comprehensive knowledge of the sector,extensive intelligence research capability and in-depth understanding of Reeves Lund, allowed its dedicated team to introduce high-quality buyers into a competitive situation which delivered real value. Following an extensive selection process, Arrow Business Communications was chosen as the preferred buyer for Reeves Lund based upon a compelling offer and supported by their professionalism, reputation and past experience as an acquirer in the sector. Following the signing of Heads of Terms and an extensive due diligence process, final negotiation of the Sale and Purchase Agreement commenced. Through its unique team of business owners,professional advisors and a multidisciplinary skill base, the Evolution Capital was able to achieve maximum value with the sale of Reeves Lund by focusing on the key strengths of the business, its profits, its high quality loyal customer base and high margin low overhead position. Evolution Capital also provided extensive support to ensure a smooth transaction process beyond Heads of Terms. Successful outcomes The final transaction was successfully completed and Reeves Lund was acquired by Arrow Business Communications Limited. The team at Reeves Lund were delighted with achieving a value for the business which was in line with the detailed valuation provided by Evolution Capital. The outgoing shareholders have now moved on to pursue other endeavours and were all extremely satisfied with our services and the value and transaction structure that we negotiated. As a result, they were only too pleased to find time to recommend the entire Evolution Capital team and their approach. Patrick Lund, Founder, Reeves Lund “We could not have achieved this level of success without Evolution Capital. Their team was excellent throughout our nine month engagement with them. From start to finish, they expertly dealt with everything. As a professional advisory firm focused on realising maximum value,they certainly delivered and I would highly recommend their unique approach and extremely experienced and capable team.” ‍ More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Case Studies Reeves Lund Case Studies Vidzone Case Studies Insite Categories Acquisition Analytic Services Business Acquisition Business Aquired Business Sale Buy-Side Case Studies Disposal Financial Due Diligence Fundraising and M&A advice IT Managed Services IT MSP M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme Media Merger Multiple R&D Tax Claims Sell-Side Sell-side M&A Advice Technology Telecoms Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Case Studies, Disposal, Telecoms Reeves Lund December 2, 2025 Case Studies, Media, Multiple R&D Tax Claims Vidzone December 2, 2025 Case Studies, Disposal, IT MSP Insite December 2, 2025 Acquisition, Case Studies, IT Managed Services Recarta December 2, 2025 Case Studies, Merger, Technology Synergy Associates December 2, 2025 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.

It is now one of the largest online video-on-demand services in the world, with over 85,000 videos and 1.5 millions tracks, as well as being at the cutting edge of software development in its field. Strategic Review enables VidZone to benefit from R&D tax relief The VidZone management team was looking at ways to enhance its technical and operational development. This likely involved an element of fund raising to support a number of initiatives in the pipeline. Aware of Evolution Capital through its sterling reputation and its technology sector focus, a series of meetings confirmed VidZone’s confidence in Evolution Capital’s ability to deliver. VidZone initially appointed Evolution Capital to undertake a strategic review to fully assess all options with a focus on the maximisation of future value. Identification of entitlement to R&D tax relief Amongst other things, the strategic review identified that VidZone had never claimed any R&D tax credits despite its nearly 15-year focus on technical innovation and unique software development. VidZone’s investment in R&D had been enormous overthe years and, as a business subject to Corporation Tax, it was very clear that the business was entitled to benefit from HMRC’s R&D tax credit scheme.This was an obvious win for an R&D business looking to raise investment funds. Claim review and submission So the process of submitting claims, going back as far as possible (two years) began. To determine the extent of each claim, Evolution Capital’s expert R&D team carried out adetailed review and liaised closely with VidZone, reviewing the identifiable innovative R&D projects and interviewing and discussing each person’s role in detail. Evolution Capital reviewed qualifying costs and helped to challenge and justifiably maximise the claims, including using its expertise in identifying relevant additional indirect costs, such as utilities, materials,subcontracted expenditure and software costs.The ensuing R&D claim reports and submissions were clear, highly professional and accepted by HMRC. Advice, planning and preparation The company’s CEO, Adrian Workman was delighted with Evolution Capital’s work on the strategic review and subsequent R&D tax relief claims, declaring: “The Evolution team was incredible and added considerable value that VidZone would not otherwise have seen without appointing the firm. I would not hesitate to highly recommend their advisory services to anyone in the TMT sector.” Needless to say, the non-submission of claims stopped forthwith and Evolution Capital and VidZone have been successfully working together on all of VidZone’s R&D claims since that initial strategic review appointment. Evolution Capital has also expanded its areas of advice to VidZone providing a range of other on-going strategic advisory and corporate finance services. VidZone is now moving into the world of virtual reality (VR) and, naturally, will be continuing to benefit and reinvest from the R&D tax credit scheme to enable those initiatives to become an actual reality. A successful outcome The retrospective claims resulted in rapid and material cash repayments to VidZone and the business and Evolution Capital ensured they were ready to hit the ground running with the current year’s anticipated claim at the earliest opportunity. The injection of funds enabled VidZone to invest in and accelerate other pioneering R&D projects and its service offering and enhance its value.

Evolution Capital advised the shareholders of Insite,Europe’s top provider of Microsoft Dynamics AX hosting and managed services in the cloud, on the sale of the company to Six Degrees (6DG) in May 2016. The company owns and operates its own tier 3 aligned data centre where it hosts private cloud infrastructure, dedicated to each client,upon which it builds tailored platforms to operate ERP and CRM platforms,predominantly but not exclusively for Microsoft applications. Insite is a Microsoft Gold Partner for Server and Data platforms, plus Hosting, bringing critical Microsoft Azure public cloud knowledge to 6DG. Heavily focused on application up time, Insite includes application performance monitoring, highly pro-active support and robust security controls within its service wrapper. End-users include Greenwich Leisure Limited, Tarmac Building Products, Crew Clothing, Joules and Countrywide Farmers. In addition to the well documented continuing growth in the cloud market, the company’s client base and know-how represents a serious growth opportunity for buyers with large client bases for cross-selling. The Challenge After 20 years of growing the business, founder and MD James Barden was keen to explore a sale of the business in order to pursue other interests. Evolution Capital identified, via a strategic review, the business had a proven model and would be extremely valuable to large players. Whilst the company was likely to continue its targeted growth profile within its current parameters, a more aggressive sales-led strategy would yield even more success and value. Insite employed Evolution Capital to find a suitable buyer for the business. Advice, planning and preparation The Evolution Capital team developed a sales proposition based on commercial information provided by company. The key aspects of the business are: · Extremely profitable, cash generative growingbusiness with an impressive financial track record · Highly efficient operation focused on marketleading service delivery and client retention. · Highly skilled and loyal workforce · State-of-the art data centre equipped with thelatest and highest quality IT infrastructure · Market leader and specialist in its field · Strong corporate focus with high value, premium and long term contracts of between three and five years · Excellent and steadily expanding client base with a superb retention rate · Outstanding service delivery and customer reputation Evolution Capital prides itself on knowing most of the key buyers in the TMT sector; a network that has been developed over two decades advising on deals within the industry. It identified and approached a number of potential buyers on behalf of Insite and negotiations were instigated. Interest in Insite was high resulting in a number of offers being put forward for consideration. A successful outcome Insite agreed to a private sale of 100% of the entire issued share capital of the trading business to managed services provider 6DG in May 2016 for an undisclosed sum. With customers spanning both private and public sectors, Insite brought critical Microsoft Azure public cloud knowledge to 6DG. Alastair Mills, the then CEO of Six Degrees, commented:“This announcement is a continuation of our stated strategic goal to enhance our capabilities in mission-critical application hosting, with a secure and compliant wrap, for business and government customers. It also provides Microsoft Azure expertise in the public cloud for both IaaS and PaaS, as well as a strong ISV partner channel.” James Barden, MD of Insite, added: “The Insite team is excited about the opportunity this combination presents. The technical capabilities of both businesses are highly complementary and our approach to the way we work with customers is a very close fit. We are looking forward to introducing new capabilities from Six Degrees in addition to the expertise in mission-critical hosting we have been delivering to our customers for many years.” ‍ More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Case Studies Insite Acquisition Recarta Case Studies Synergy Associates Categories Acquisition Analytic Services Business Acquisition Business Aquired Business Sale Buy-Side Case Studies Disposal Financial Due Diligence Fundraising and M&A advice IT Managed Services IT MSP M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme Merger Sell-Side Sell-side M&A Advice Technology Telecoms Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Case Studies, Disposal, IT MSP Insite December 2, 2025 Acquisition, Case Studies, IT Managed Services Recarta December 2, 2025 Case Studies, Merger, Technology Synergy Associates December 2, 2025 Case Studies, M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme, Telecoms BNS December 2, 2025 Business Sale, Case Studies, Telecoms Virtue Broadcasting December 2, 2025 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.

The company specialised in supplying IBMRS 6000 parts in an international brokerage market and, at that time, were the only organisation focusing completely on this area. Recarta, capitalising in this specialised market,established a reputation for trust and expert support within a select group of customers. The market hardened during the financial turmoil of 2008 but came back strongly in 2010, enabling the company to exploit a computer hardware market dominated by IBM and AIX (IBM’s ‘open’ operating system). This dominance enabled Recarta to reinforce its position, providing both system management and infrastructure solutions,for many ERP applications and working alongside ISV’s such as INFOR. Today, Recarta IT supports multi-platform infrastructures,with IBM-based services accounting for up to 50% of their revenues. The company looks to continue its upward growth curve through the provision of managed IT services, specifically remote management, patching, hosting, outsourcing and compliance. The client base consists of over 300 satisfied customers, with approximately two-thirds providing recurring revenues. Daren Bland, MD and founder, says: “We worked hard to establish a reputation for excellence in a crowded market place. We supply vital support services, without which people would be unable to operate their businesses. Recarta are now trusted advisors to a significant number of customers for whom we provide a solid platform for growth, resilience, security and scalability.” The Challenge: Like many successful businesses, Recarta’s management team strive to get a good skills and cultural balance within their organisation.Importantly, they are constantly on the lookout for complementary acquisition targets that will dovetail into the existing operation with the minimum of disruption to their clients. Their acquisition of Signature Consulting in 2017 was a case in point and allowed the company to add new skills to their existing portfolio. It also provided a move into new markets of healthcare and medical protection and importantly provided an additional source of renewable revenue. Bland continues: “We identified another acquisition as long ago as 2016. It was a compelling and complementary fit to our existing portfolio and both parties were keen to move forward to a mutually beneficial conclusion. However, the main challenge was to get to a point where we could both agree on a satisfactory valuation. The seller also needed to be able to convince his own management team and investors that an optimum valuation had been reached. It became obvious that we needed some expert industry advice to get the deal over the line. We were well acquainted with Evolution Capital’s industry reputation and asked them for their input.” Advice, planning and preparation: Recarta IT appointed Evolution Capital in October 2018 to provide some specialist advice and guidance on the proposed deal, including establishing a workable valuation that both buyer and seller could agree with.After an initial review of the business, Evolution provided a detailed plan and risk analysis of the deal and progress was made. This included: 1. A review of relevant financial and management information 2. A detailed risk analysis report 3. The preparation of all appropriate documentation 4. The formula for a valuation Bland adds: “Without Evolution Capital’s input it is fair to say that a conclusion could not have been reached. The company took a very pragmatic approach to the process and set realistic expectations for both parties. Ultimately, they put the deal together for us and given that the hard yards had been done by the time it came to do the due diligence, everything went through very quickly.” A successful outcome: Recarta acquired virtualisation and cloud specialist Möbius Business Technologies in May 2019, creating a £15 million value-added reseller in the process. Evolution Capital’s input was crucial to the deal completing in a timely manner. Bland says: “We were delighted with the successful conclusion of this transaction, which was catalysed by Evolution Capital. The acquisition greatly enhances our IT infrastructure and managed service capability into new IT Vendor areas.” ‍ More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Acquisition Recarta Case Studies Synergy Associates M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme BNS Categories Acquisition Analytic Services Business Acquisition Business Aquired Business Sale Buy-Side Case Studies Financial Due Diligence Fundraising and M&A advice IT Managed Services M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme Merger Sell-Side Sell-side M&A Advice Technology Telecoms Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Acquisition, Case Studies, IT Managed Services Recarta December 2, 2025 Case Studies, Merger, Technology Synergy Associates December 2, 2025 Business Sale, Case Studies, Technology MSO December 2, 2025 Business Sale, Case Studies, Technology Crompton Technology Group December 2, 2025 Business Acquisition, Case Studies, Telecoms Axis Telecom December 1, 2025 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.
