Advania UK claims it is “positioned for growth” after making a small round of redundancies.
Having completed its integration of CCS Media and Servium in August, the Microsoft, VMware, HPE and Cisco partner is now a £450m-revenue, 1,400-employee business.
Following the departure of Geoff Kneen as CEO in September, IT Channel Oxygen understands that CFO Andy Insley has also left the business.
In an exclusive statement issued to IT Channel Oxygen, Thea Fineren, Chief People Officer, Advania UK confirmed that 45 staff – or 3.2% of its 1,422-strong workforce – have been made redundant.
“As a growth-focused performance business, we continually adapt and transform to ensure we are structured to deliver the best outcomes for our customers,” the statement read.
“As part of our ongoing evolution, we recently entered into a limited consultation process that resulted in 45 of our 1,422 employee base being made redundant (36 in the UK and 9 in South Africa).
“We engaged with those concerned to ensure a smooth transition for those affected and for our business, which remains agile, people-centric, and positioned for economic growth in the UK.”
Advania UK ranked 26th in Oxygen 250 2025.
The wider, Sweden-headquartered group, which is backed by Goldman Sachs, logged net revenues of SEK 15.1bn (£1.18bn) last year. It is currently on a mission to become “the UK and Northern Europe’s most AI-focused MSP”.
