Comms Group

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 2016 Acquisition Analytic Services Business Acquisition Business Aquired Business Sale Business Valuation and Research 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 The background Comms Group was started in 2007 as a collaboration between two organisations in the telecoms space. They each had a clearly defined role in the marketplace, mobile and fixed lines respectively, and wanted to explore the opportunities created through the synergies of their respective organisations. Both companies were kept separate whilst the exploratory initiative was trialed. The joint venture was a success and both organisations merged to form Comms Group. Matt Tarry, MD of Comms Group, said: “While both our organisations were successful in their own right, we felt there was a lot more we could achieve together. Our initial joint venture was all about testing the market to see what was possible and our findings proved conclusive. We set ourselves a joint first year’s target of £1m which was exceeded well before the year was up. Clearly, the sum of the parts exceeded the whole and we joined forces permanently, never looking back.” The market was changing, as was the new organisation’s business model. The company put a lot of focus on selling and supporting refurbished Avaya telephone systems and capitalised on a gap in the market where there was plenty of excess equipment to acquire, refurbish and deliver.   Tarry adds: “During the financial crisis of 2008 there was a general surplus of telephone systems, which we snapped up. There was also demand for the kit which we supplied at a fraction of the retail value and with an attractive support contract.” The company grew quickly and soon reached a point where they were working out of eight serviced offices over disparate geographies.Management decided to buy permanent offices in Northampton out of which they operated, with up to 30 staff, supplying hosted phone systems, IT & Cloud computing and a raft of support services. The Challenge Both of the company’s founders, Paul Simmons and Matt Tarry,decided on inception that they would pursue an exit route of a trade sale after five years or so. However, both owners were enjoying the experience of nurturing and growing a thriving business and decided to dispose of the company only when the right buyer presented themselves. Matt Tarry says: “We had developed a close-knit team, which ultimately underpinned our success, and there was no way we wanted to just sell the company and leave the staff in the uncertain hands of new owners.Personally, I enjoyed the operational demands of running the company, we were profitable and cash positive and I felt it would take a compelling offer to get either of us (owners) interested. The five-year exit plan would, in reality,take a little longer to execute.” Specialist advisors were appointed in 2011 to audit and‘health check’ the business’ contracts and fundamental financial processes to ensure that they were in a strong position to attract the best offer, should one be made. Meanwhile, the company went from strength to strength and the management team continued to build growth from a solid platform. Tarry continues: “The advice we were actually given told us nothing we did not already know. It was comforting to be told that ‘all ourducks were in a row’ and we were ‘sale ready’ but beyond that, there was nothing new. Confirmation that we had a successful blueprint meant that justkept doing more of the same stuff. Focusing on recurring revenues was the key to continued success.” Comms Group was approached by an acquirer, received an acceptable offer for the business and the transaction progressed to its logicalconclusion. However Evolution Capital then approached the company towards the end of that year and it was agreed that viable alternatives might be explored. Advice, planning and preparation Within a week of the first meeting, Evolution had found an alternative buyer in Adept, a publicly listed telecoms business with a solid reputation for acquiring and integrating complementary businesses. Some preparatory work was undertaken, namely:  A review of the contractual, financial and management information  The preparation of appropriate materials and documentation  A realistic timescale for offer and completion Tarry adds: “We were literally days away from completing the original disposal when Evolution’s approach was made. They reacted incredibly quickly and convinced us that it was worth going the extra mile. The fundamental part of the deal had to include the correct treatment and integration of our staff and after meeting the buyer we were given the assurances we needed. The chemistry was right, the figures were highly compelling and the contract included warranties to protect our employees. The transaction was completed swiftly in May 2016 and there were no bumps in the road. Evolution shepherded the deal home and made it all happen to allow us to maximise our exit.” A successful outcome Comms Group was delighted with the transaction and the post-sale activities have been exactly as anticipated with no deviation from the plan. Tarry concludes: “Expectations were set at the right level and there have been no surprises along the way – including all pre- and post sales activities. We achieved the right price on the best terms. Of paramount importance was that the staff were happy, content and motivated. Our engagement with Evolution might have been late in the day but their advice and guidance proved very timely.” About Comms Group Comms Group is a complete IT and Communications solutions provider for small to medium-sized organisations.

Lake Technologies

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.
