IP Telecom, the leading provider of cloud-based voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and unified communications telephony services to business customers across Ireland, has today announced the successful acquisition of Centrecom Systems Limited. This move comes as IP Telecom continues to solidify its position as a key player in the telecoms landscape, with the Dublin-based company going from strength to strength.
The acquisition of Centrecom, marks a significant milestone in IP Telecom’s growth journey. Centrecom, whose client list boasts Guinness Storehouse, Diageo, Mad Egg and Sherry Fitzgerald, was founded in 2005. The Irish company is a leader in providing managed Wi-Fi, Voice and IT solutions. By integrating the expertise and technology of both entities, IP Telecom looks to offer enhanced services and deliver unparalleled value to its customers. This strategic acquisition comes on the heels of IP Telecom’’s recent injection of €6 million in investment capital from Development Capital, highlighting the company’s commitment to expansion and innovation.
Speaking on today’s announcement, Shena Brien, CEO of IP Telecom, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Centrecom into the IP Telecom family today, and look forward to offering our customers additional services through this acquisition, as we continue to put the customer first. IP Telecom has large ambitions for the year ahead, and our acquisition of Centrecom is a sign of great things to come; growth is most certainly on the agenda for 2024, and this is one of many moves we will be undertaking in an effort to deliver against that goal.”
Brian Hewson, Managing Director at Centrecom added: “Joining forces with IP Telecom is a fantastic move for us at Centrecom; together we embark on a shared mission to elevate our offerings and expand our reach, providing B2B telecoms services across Ireland. We look forward to the future with optimism, fuelled by the combined expertise and resources that this acquisition brings.”
This move is not the sole activity of late that reinforces IP Telecom’s ambitions; earlier this year IP Telecom announced the strengthening of its board, with Edel Creely being appointed as Chair.
Headquartered in Dublin West, IP Telecom was founded in 2010 by co-founders Shena Brien and Brian Chamberlain, both who continue to lead the company as CEO and CTO. The leading telecoms provider offers a full suite of innovative, leading-edge business telephony services and solutions to over 4,000 business customers across a variety of sectors, with customers including Decathlon, DID Electrical, and Barnardos.
Robin Russell, Chief Commercial Officer at IP Telecom, added: “This acquisition not only strengthens our market position but reinforces our dedication to driving innovation and excellence in the telecoms and connectivity sector. The team at Centrecom are one that aligns with our overriding purpose at IP Telecom of excellent products backed by customer-centricity, and we believe that the combined strengths of our companies will unlock new opportunities for growth and success.”
