Revenue: £118.7m (+27%)
UK headcount: 115
Germany’s largest IT reseller boosted its UK revenue runrate to around €200m in March 2023 when it acquired £60m-revenue hardware procurement specialist Tangible Benefit. The move is “another important step towards becoming one of the top 10 IT solutions providers in the UK”, UK MD James Napp said. The calendar 2022 revenue figure of £118.7m logged by the UK subsidiary therefore does the Chippenham-based outfit little justice.
Oxygen ice-breaker: Bechtle unveiled a fresh €300m M&A warchest (niftily raised through the placing of convertible bonds – to sidestep high interest rates) in December 2023.
