Acora’s revenue runrate has hit £100m, the MSP claimed as it ended a brief M&A hiatus by announcing its acquisition of HANDD Business Solutions.
The LDC-backed Microsoft, Google Cloud and Fortinet partner hadn’t publicly announced any acquisitions since that of AWS consultancy Hydras last March.
Now it has snapped up Reading-based HANDD, a secure data transfer, automation and orchestration specialist with operations in Malaysia, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Ranking 54th in Oxygen 250 2026, West Sussex-based Acora saw calendar 2024 revenues vault 10% to £83.9m.
The HANDD deal takes it to “approximately £100m in annualised run-rate revenue for 2026”, it said.

Couchdrop, SnapLogic, Tenable and Axway partner HANDD counts Nissan, KPMG and Sky Bet among its clients.
Acora said the acquisition “continues to extend the group’s global footprint whilst further enhancing Acora’s data capabilities and maturity”.
The deal comes 18 or so months after Acora moved to bolster its data and AI capabilities by acquiring Elastacloud in a move that pushed its headcount to nearly 1,000.
Acora claims its multi‑disciplinary model “moves beyond siloed MSP and MSSP approaches to deliver and combine operational excellence with strategic transformation to support the long-term objectives of the businesses served”.
