UK-based IT services provider, Celerity, has acquired Silverstring, enhancing the former’s data protection and cyber recovery offerings within its managed services portfolio. Founded in 2002, Celerity provides advanced IT services with an emphasis on cybersecurity and highly available hybrid-cloud systems.
The agreement cements a long-term relationship between Celerity and Predatar, developer of the innovative recovery assurance technology platform. As part of the deal, Celerity will become a preferred Predatar Apex partner for the UK market.
Predatar will become a separate entity under the continued leadership of Silverstring founder and former CEO, Alistair Mackenzie. The deal will enable Predatar to accelerate innovation and growth – strengthening its position as an innovation leader in the market.
In 2021, Celerity attracted a £15m investment from BGF. This latest transaction follows Celerity’s acquisition of Chilli IT in May 2024. The deal will take the combined business turnover to more than £50m and a team of 94.
