Kubus acquires Ammcom to boost fibre cabling services

Kubus has acquired Ammcom, adding a network cabling and infrastructure specialist to the group.

The acquisition expands Kubus's service offering in fibre network cabling and infrastructure services. Ammcom has traded for 23 years and had worked with Kubus for a long period before joining the group.

The transaction follows a stretch of acquisition activity at Kubus and comes after investment from BGF. Recent deals have widened the company's technical capabilities and presence across the UK and international markets.

Jeremy Keefe, Chief Executive Officer of Kubus, described the acquisition as part of a broader expansion plan.

"Ammcom has built a formidable reputation for excellence in fibre network cabling and infrastructure services, and the acquisition is another milestone on the Kubus journey. By bringing Ammcom into the fold, we are doing much more than growing our talent pool; we are significantly deepening our ability to deliver the end-to-end infrastructure projects and capabilities that modern businesses demand," Keefe said.

Ammcom joins Kubus as demand continues for more integrated IT and physical infrastructure work. Network cabling specialists often work alongside managed service providers on office, campus and data centre projects, where fibre installation and related infrastructure work form part of wider roll-outs.

Growth strategy

Kubus has been growing through acquisition over the past two years. Those deals have helped broaden its geographic reach and technical expertise, with the Ammcom purchase adding a more specialised presence in fibre network cabling.

For Ammcom, the move brings a smaller specialist business into a larger services group. Andrew Maunder, Founder and Managing Director of Ammcom, said the decision reflected both the company's trading history and the fit between the two businesses.

"The acquisition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team," Maunder said.

"We are thrilled to partner with Kubus, and their shared vision and scale will allow us to bring our services to a much wider audience while maintaining the high standards our customers expect. We have long admired Kubus's unique approach to the industry, and their expertise perfectly complements our existing operations, allowing us to deliver even greater value to our current customer base," he added.

The comments reflect a familiar rationale in the UK technology services market, where consolidation has continued as providers seek to offer a broader mix of support, networking, infrastructure and project delivery under one ownership structure. Buyers have also used acquisitions to add sector-specific skills more quickly than they could through organic hiring alone.

Investor backing

BGF, which has invested in Kubus, backed the latest transaction as part of the company's wider growth plan. Its involvement underlines the role private capital is playing in supporting expansion among mid-sized technology and infrastructure services businesses.

Edwin Davies, Investor at BGF, said Kubus had continued to add specialist expertise through targeted deals.

"Kubus continues to build momentum through a focused growth strategy, and the acquisition of Ammcom marks another important step in that journey. By adding specialist expertise in fibre network cabling, the business is strengthening its capabilities and ability to support customers with increasingly complex IT infrastructure requirements. The team has consistently shown it can identify opportunities to enhance the business, and we are excited to continue supporting Kubus as it pursues its long-term growth ambitions," Davies said.

The addition of Ammcom gives Kubus a larger role in projects that combine managed IT services with physical network installation. It also reflects the way service providers are trying to bring together advisory, implementation and infrastructure work for customers that want fewer suppliers across their technology estates.

Ammcom's place in the group follows what both sides described as decades of successful collaboration between the businesses, making the transaction a formal extension of an existing relationship rather than a first-time partnership.
