Aspire Completes Third Acquisition in Two Years with Scotland-based NVT Group Deal

Aspire Technology Solutions, one of the UK’s leading providers of managed IT, cyber security, and modern workplace solutions, has completed the acquisition of managed service provider NVT Group, headquartered in Bellshill.

The deal marks the company’s third acquisition in two years, reinforcing its strategic expansion across the UK, with a strengthened market position in Scotland.

The acquisition forms part of Aspire’s continued UK growth strategy, further scaling its presence in Scotland and enhancing its ability to deliver secure, integrated technology solutions. NVT Group supports over 90 organisations and brings a highly experienced team of 49 employees, alongside long-standing customer relationships.

NVT Group’s strong customer base closely aligns with Aspire’s core market in both profile and service requirements. The organisations it supports reflect Aspire’s core focus on mid-sized UK businesses that require secure, high-quality managed services, creating a natural extension of Aspire’s existing customer portfolio.

Founded in 1988, NVT Group is a well-established IT services provider with a longstanding presence across Scotland. Aspire’s acquisition provides immediate assurance for customers and employees, while introducing the scale, resilience and investment required to support long-term growth.

All employees have transferred to Aspire as part of the transaction, and the combined team will operate from the Glasgow hub under Aspire’s leadership, with services integrated into its delivery model.

Chris Fraser, CEO and founder of Aspire, commented:
“We are delighted to welcome the team at NVT Group into Aspire. They have built a strong business with an established customer base and deep expertise.

Our priority is to provide immediate continuity for both customers and the team, while enhancing the service they receive through Aspire’s scale and capability. This acquisition strengthens our presence in Scotland, while maintaining the high level of service and support our customers expect. Bringing the teams together in Glasgow will create a stronger platform for growth as we continue to invest in the region.”

Stephen Park Brown, Executive Chairman of NVT Group, added:
“Joining Aspire marks an important step for the business, giving our customers and team confidence in the future. Aspire’s culture is strongly aligned with NVT, demonstrated by both organisations’ long term customer relationships. Dougie Weir, Group Operations Director, and, Hamish Fraser, Group Managing Director, will continue to play a key role in the business, maintaining strong relationships with customers and colleagues. This creates a strong platform for further technical development of our people and a broader solution portfolio for our customers.”

Aspire continues to invest in its UK-wide capabilities, including its next-generation Security Operations Centre, managed IT services, and modern workplace solutions. Backed by leading private equity firm LDC, the company is focused on sustainable growth, innovation, and delivering secure, high-quality technology outcomes for customers. It is also pursuing further growth through acquisition, strengthening its current position in Scotland, the North East and Yorkshire, while expanding into new regions including the Midlands, the North West and London.

With a broad regional footprint and enhanced capability, Aspire is well positioned to support organisations across the UK, combining local expertise with a fully integrated national delivery model.
