Software solutions provider & distributor Blue Rock Systems Ltd has purchased the Nottingham based IT software company Sense Computers Systems from the Sense Group for c£670,000.
The Southampton based Blue Rock sees the addition of Sense as a logical expansion that increases its geographic spread and gives it access to experienced staff, a wide customer base and new software.
Blue Rock is purchasing Sense Computer Systems from the Sense Group, who will now concentrate on its Sense Enterprise Solutions Division.
The managing director of Blue Rock, George Troullis, said: ‘This is an excellent opportunity for Blue Rock to expand into the Midlands with an existing, happy client base with a first class team of engineers and support staff.
‘Having a base in the Midlands is a key requirement of our expansion road map and Sense’s excellent offices really fit the bill. I know Sense’s high quality engineers will enjoy being stimulated by working with the Blue Rock team.
‘This is a big expansion for Blue Rock and we will now concentrate all our efforts to ensure a seamless transfer and guarantee the excellent customer service that Sense’s customers have enjoyed continues and even improves! In addition Blue Rock will establish a new business sales team in Nottingham which will increase our turnover to approximately £ 4 million within 12 months.’
Michael Blatherwick, the Managing Director of the Sense Group said: ‘We took the strategic decision to focus on our Enterprise Solutions business- but wanted to make sure we found the right owner for our Computer Systems division and one who would maintain the high levels of customer support and drive the business forward.’
‘All of our customers purchased from us because they trusted us to offer excellent ongoing support and we are confident that Blue Rock will deliver that – their track record with their own customers support my confidence in the company.’
