This Livingbridge-backed connectivity provider built a £37m-revenue, five-office IT managed services provider from scratch in 2023 by acquiring Highlander, projectfive and Computer and Network Consultants in January, April and December, respectively. The triple swoop propelled its total revenue runrate to £104m. FluidOne’s most recently filed accounts, for the year ending 31 March 2023, show revenue booming 72% to £71.6m.
