A Quercus International team has advised the shareholders of Serbus Limited (“Serbus” or the “Company”) on the sale of the business to Aliter Capital LLP (“Aliter”), a UK private equity firm. Serbus will join the Aliter-backed group alongside ITM Communications Limited (“ITM”) and Bates IT Limited (“Bates IT”).
Established in 2010 by two UK Special Forces veterans, Sebastian Wiles and Russell Ticehurst, Serbus specialises in the provision of advanced secure mobile communications offering top level security, threat protection and compliance to ensure day-to-day operations remain productive and uninterrupted, wherever its customers’ employees are working in the world. This includes high-profile government and military environments, as well as within multinational corporations, where protection of employees and intellectual property is key.
Serbus currently supports customers across the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (“CNI”), working closely with the Ministry of Defence and a range of UK Government departments.
Serbus represents the third acquisition for the Aliter-backed group which currently includes ITM, a UK provider of critical network and ICT infrastructure services, and Bates IT, the specialist healthcare ICT provider. The combined group portfolio delivers a comprehensive range of managed critical network and ICT infrastructure capabilities, including network management, on-site and off-site technical services, IoT and digital infrastructure services.
Serbus’s founders and directors, Sebastian and Russell, have built a strong, diverse, security vetted team. Both are remaining with the business and will now work closely with the enlarged group to drive further growth organically, whilst continuing to pursue a buy-and-build strategy.
