Communications specialist bought by business tech group

Communications specialist Evad has been bought by one of the UK’s leading providers of essential business technology.

The firm, which is headquartered in Derby, has been acquired by Focus Group to support its ambitious plans for growth and development into new sectors.

The deal enables both brands to extend their geographical reach across the UK, diversify product portfolios and deliver service expertise to specialist market sectors.

Evad, formally owned by Ethos Group, has been rebranded as Focus Group with regional director Matt Hill and sales director Richard Osborn continuing at the helm of the regional office at Cubo Derby.

As a nationwide provider of communications solutions to businesses of all shapes and sizes, the group offers specialised expertise in contact centres, PCI-compliant platforms, professional services organisations and healthcare.

Matt said: “As part of the Ethos Group we enjoyed a lot of success and grew the business organically to be recognised as a leading communications provider.

“The last decade has been brilliant, and I can’t thank the Ethos Group enough.

“However, the opportunity to become part of Focus Group was too good to miss and perfectly timed as Ethos looked to actively pursue the growth of its core digital print business.

“Joining the Focus Group family brings us a wealth of knowledge and provides the ability, and product portfolio, to grow significantly.

“Most importantly, our intrinsic company values are aligned. With a focus on ensuring our team and customers benefit from any investment, it is enabling us to provide the same award-winning services, but turbo charged.”
