Kent’s Apogee to acquire Argon Business Systems Ltd
Kent-based workplace, IT, and print solutions provider Apogee, an independent subsidiary of HP, is set to acquire IT service provider Argon Business Systems following an agreement between the two companies.
Argon is a customer-focused multi-disciplined technology services provider, assisting businesses in both the Public and Private sectors. Apogee’s acquisition of Argon further supports the Kent-based company’s venture into Managed IT services.
CEO of Argon Iain Fairbairn said: “This deal will enable the ongoing growth and development of the Argon team on the Island, expanding our range of Managed IT Services into the Apogee customer base across the UK and Ireland. Working with Apogee, we will be able to extend the solutions delivered and the value we can offer to our wide ranging customer base. I believe Apogee’s investment recognises the strength of our economy, the many sectors represented, and the opportunities which exist on the Island. “
The acquisition of Argon is the twentieth acquisition in Apogee’s history and the third since the company was taken over by HP in 2018. Apogee looks to continue its expansion in both the UK and Europe as the company heads towards 2024.
CEO of Apogee Aurelio Maruggi said: “This acquisition helps strengthen Apogee’s position as a leader in Managed Workplace Services, both in the UK and, as we continue to drive growth, in Continental Europe.
‘’Argon’s reputation will enhance Apogee’s coverage and capabilities to support its customers with Managed IT Services, while forming part of our ongoing growth strategy, as we aim to create the perfect combination of secure and flexible solutions for our customers’ workforce.
‘’Apogee’s portfolio of services has been created to deliver the right technology and solutions to any workforce, and this acquisition further enhances our IT capabilities as we continue to provide a bespoke and market-leading service to our customers.”
