The market for network connectivity across IOT, Cloud and Mobile is a fragmented and growing one. As companies across all sectors recognise the need for digital transformation we see multiple opportunities for FluidOne to gain market share. The business has acquired four businesses under Livingbridge’s ownership through a successful buy and build strategy, and there is strong M&A pipeline of further opportunities to build on.
Our investment is further supporting FluidOne in the significant opportunities it has identified for cross-selling, targeted sales, marketing campaigns and new product development.
