CNC provides the very best in IT services, expertly delivered across the Southeast. But now, customers will also benefit from a wider product portfolio supported by FluidOne, a nationwide, market-leading provider of Connected Cloud solutions.
The acquisition of CNC by FluidOne builds on FluidOne’s strategy to invest in regional IT MSPs, creating a branch network for expertly delivered localised services for SME customers. The investment in CNC has expanded the Business IT Centre of Excellence (CoE) for FluidOne to a £37m revenue, with 1,100 customers, 164 employees, and five branch offices, led from Highlander’s Sheffield headquarters.
