Bahrain-based global asset manager company Investcorp’s portfolio company, Calligo Holdings Limited has acquired the UK-based IT managed services and technology-led solutions provider, Network Integrity Services (NIS).
Calligo’s acquisition of NIS indicates the continuing commitment of the company to grow its expertise within the competitive market for managed data services.
The addition of NIS is firmly part of the goals of Calligo to boost its local presence across the UK while also expanding the skills and capabilities that can be made available to its customers across Europe and North America.

“We invested in Calligo because of its strong position in the highly attractive managed services and data privacy market. This latest acquisition reinforces our view that Calligo’s compelling offering and experienced management team will continue to deliver both organic and inorganic growth opportunities. We are delighted with how the talented team at Calligo has established the company as a global leader in the privacy-focused managed services market and continue to identify complementary acquisition targets in the current environment.”

The deep tech market expertise of our team combined with the tenacious efforts of the Calligo management team to expand the business has yielded an impressive year of acquisition-led growth.”
