A sale to Flotek helped ECS secure a strategic partner as Flotek expanded its footprint into the Northwest of England.
The client
Founded in 1985, Chester-based ECS provides telecoms systems to more than 850 organisations across the UK. Its sale to Flotek marked Flotek’s sixth acquisition and an important step in its wider expansion plan.
For Flotek, the transaction extended its reach beyond Wales and Southern England and added a respected business with a strong industry reputation.
What we did
Knight Corporate Finance, now part of K3 Deal Advisory, advised ECS throughout the transaction process.
The team supported the shareholders in securing a deal that gave the business a strong future within a growing telecoms and IT platform.
The outcome
The acquisition strengthens Flotek’s national reach and adds a well-established telecoms specialist to the group.
For ECS and its customers, the deal creates access to integrated IT support alongside the high-quality telecoms services the business already delivers.
This transaction creates a strong future for ECS and adds broader capability for our customers while preserving the quality of service they expect.
