Q1 acquisition activity: Bamboo Technology

M&A agenda

If SCC is Rigby Group’s seasoned tech brand, CloudClevr is its acquisitive kid brother.

Incorporated in December 2022 after Rigby Group committed £150m to support technology investments that don’t fit within SCC, comms specialist CloudClevr made its third acquisition in January in the form of Cheltenham-based Bamboo.

The Microsoft, Ring Central, Zoom and Cisco partner bills itself as a “next-generation MSP”.

The deal for £12m-revenue, 64-employee Bamboo follows CloudClevr’s purchases of 4Sight Communications and NGC in June and September 2023.
