Connect Telecom in Belfast has acquired two UK telecoms firms.
The company has bought over Vodafone partner, Coltel, and Nortech in Carlisle.
Aberdeen-based Coltel's Vodafone base will now be managed in partnership with Connect Telecom, which provides customers with access to additional Vodafone products.
The acquisition will create 15 additional jobs across the next two years, in addition to the 50 employees currently with Coltel. Neil Collie, Managing Director at Coltel, will join the senior management team at Connect Telecom and will continue to lead Coltel’s Scottish operations.
The acquisitions now see Connect Telecom with a presence right across Scotland, with offices in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as Carlisle and Belfast.
Scott Ritchie, Managing Director at Connect Telecom said: "We are delighted to expand our presence in the Scottish market through the acquisition of Coltel and the north west English market through Nortech Communications’ Vodafone base.
"Coltel will continue to operate as Coltel Limited and I look forward to working with Neil Collie and the extended team as we aim to grow the business whilst maintaining consistency and stability of service and support to customers who will now receive more choice than ever before.
"As a Vodafone Total Communications Partner, our relationship with Vodafone is stronger than ever and ensures our customers have faster and more efficient access to the latest communications solutions across fixed line, mobile, converged and cloud technology.
"Our increased presence within the UK telecoms market means more business customers than ever before in the region will benefit from Connect Telecom’s ability to deliver not only the best value, but also the very latest technology and communications solutions as they emerge."
