IT firm Version-1 continues to branch out in UK

Leading Irish IT consulting and managed services provider, Version-1, has continued its “aggressive” acquisition-led growth strategy by purchasing a UK company for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition of Birmingham-based Patech Solutions — a near 20-year-old Oracle consulting practice —brings to five the number of firms the Dublin company has snapped up as part of its latest expansion drive.

“Patech is a close fit with our aggressive acquisition criteria and strengthens our public sector profile and our Oracle practice across Ireland and the UK,” said Version-1’s chief executive, Justin Keatinge.
