M Group has announced its acquisition of Telent, provider of operational technology and digital solutions for critical national infrastructure across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

On completion of the transaction, M Group will be even better placed to tackle the evolving challenges of the ageing infrastructure across the UK and Ireland, combining M Group\u2019s market leading infrastructure service offering with Telent\u2019s leading technology and digital solution capabilities.<\/p>\n

Telent’s differentiated position in mission critical communications, network infrastructure and end-to-end cyber security services, materially enhances M Group\u2019s ability to deliver integrated solutions across the telecom, transport, water, and energy sectors. It also expands M Group\u2019s reach into attractive adjacent markets, including the public sector, defence, emergency services and education.<\/p>\n

Bringing Telent into the M Group family will strengthen longstanding relationships with shared customers including Transport for London (TfL), National Highways, Network Rail, Virgin Media O2, BT, EE and Openreach.<\/p>\n

The transaction is subject to regulatory approval.<\/p>\n

Andrew Findlay, chief executive of M Group, said: “This is a hugely transformative deal for M Group and I am delighted Telent is joining us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognise the strength of Telent\u2019s differentiated capabilities, market position and talented people that make it a great business. With the acquisition of Telent, M Group will be even better placed to deliver essential infrastructure services for life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ambitious growth strategy reflects a combination of organic and inorganic growth and this acquisition builds on our strong track record of strategic M&A. It will enable us to deliver even greater value and expertise to our clients and so help the people, communities and economies of the UK and Ireland adapt to a changing world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jo Gretton, chief executive of Telent, added: “Joining M Group marks an exciting new chapter for Telent, reinforcing our leading position in network and technology solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cTelent is a business with a long trading heritage and an excellent reputation. With M Group\u2019s extensive infrastructure expertise and scale, we are well placed to accelerate our growth and continue to be a trusted partner for organisations at the forefront of the digital revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
