Elitetele.com completes first acquisition of the year

Unified communications provider Elitetele.com has acquired London-based Modern Communications for an undisclosed sum, completing the company’s ninth acquisition since 2008.

Matt Newing, founder and CEO of Elitetele.com said: “Modern Communications was a very targeted acquisition for us as we continue to expand our presence in London. It is the third acquisition we have made in the capital in total and we see this as a key platform for future national and international growth.”

Matt added: “With Modern Communications comes great new supplier and partner contracts, including long-standing relationships with global leaders in hybrid cloud solutions. This greatly enhances Elite’s portfolio of virtual and next gen products, furthering our footprint within the UC sector and ensuring we continue to operate above the market.

Adrian Barnard, founder and managing director of Modern Communications, said: “Elite shares the same vision and foundations on which Modern Communications was built and I am delighted for us to become part of the Elite business. The company is very dynamic and forward thinking. This acquisition enables us to enhance the provisioning of unified communications services further afield.”
