It’s onwards for Shoreham-headquartered, and Hg-backed, Focus Group, which has made yet another acquisition.
This time it is Leicestershire-based Voice Connect, a specialist in telecommunications, NHS systems integration, and self-serve automation. The pair have been partnering for 18 months taking their complementary technologies to the health and care markets. Together, the firms believe they have the capability to excel, not least in the rapidly evolving arena of AI-driven healthcare solutions.
Focus Group has recently expanded further into the sectors with its Think Healthcare division, designed to support the NHS as it digitally transforms. Voice Connect's flagship Patient Partner solution will slot into this division and work nicely alongside the existing cloud telephony and contact centre solutions.
It’s not uncommon for acquisitions to start out as partnerships, and we see the benefits to be had for both firms by bringing Voice Connect into the fold – not least in creating closer strategic development ties and sustaining investments.
Last month, Focus acquired Lancashire-based Matrix247, which has a portfolio of services covering Managed IT, Managed Print, and Communications (e.g., cloud telephony and managed Wi-Fi).
