9K to become integral part of the Indecs Group.
We are delighted to officially announce that the shareholders of 9K have agreed a sale that will see 9K become part of the Indecs Group, one of the fastest growing support companies in the UK.
One of the founders of 9K, Alex Lawrence, commented:
‘This is great news for the staff and clients of 9K. We have worked hard to build a successful business based on high skill levels, deep experience and great client service. We were determined to always put the client first. We built solutions and service models around what they needed rather than simply trying to deliver service based on self-serving conditions or make them buy products they didn’t need. This strategy has helped us develop a strong company and a loyal client base.
The future looks even brighter following the decision to become part of the Indecs Group. They are specialists in enterprise and midrange server/storage support. They have complementary skills; wide geographic reach, broad technology expertise and pooling their resources with those of 9K will allow us all to take a large step to becoming the largest independent service and solution specialist of its genre in the UK.
Clients will benefit from increased engineering strength and access to more knowledge and skills. I am proud to have been part of creating and building 9K. I will continue to work with the Indecs Group to help make sure that there is a smooth transition. This should be straightforward as we have known Indecs for over a decade. We know they share the same values. They believe in integrity, service expertise and a positive customer experience. The future will be tremendously exciting for staff and clients alike.’
David Shepheard, founder of the Indecs Group, commented:
‘We are thrilled with this latest acquisition. We have been long-term admirers of 9K and the impact it has made in the market. It will help us to further deepen our knowledge, experience and high-end skills capability. They are smart. They have a great reputation and our experience of them has impressed us. They will help us broaden our reach into Europe. They will bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Naturally, they will bring new clients who can take advantage of the broader range of service capabilities. This will enable some clients to rationalise their supplier base which will drive some costs and hassle out of their businesses.
We feel that we will benefit from continuing to strengthen our geographic reach, as well as adding new knowledge, experience and skills from the technical support staff at 9K. They have some fantastic relationships and contracts with skilled, motivated and talented commercial people. In summary it gives us greater engineering capability, better sales talent, greater financial strength and greater prospects of growth in the short and mid-term.’
The Indecs Group is headquartered in Redditch. The first company in the group, Indecs Computers Ltd, was founded in 1994. Since then it has grown to become one of the leading service and support providers. It has many regional offices, forward stocking locations and field based engineers throughout the UK dedicated to providing unparalleled service levels and great value.
