A South West technology and data specialist has been acquired by Bristol-headquartered cyber security consultancy and secure services provider Logiq in its first acquisition.
The deal strengthens Logiq’s capability in secure government and defence sectors and expands its presence in the South West, a region at the heart of the UK’s cyber and national security ecosystem.
Cheltenham-based Savient provides software consultancy, development and technical solutions to organisations at the forefront of next generation technology, science and engineering, supporting complex programmes subject to stringent operational constraints and assurance requirements.
James Morgan, chief executive of Logiq, said: “Savient has an exceptional reputation across Government, and we are excited to work alongside a highly capable team with deep experience of delivering in secure environments. Their trusted client relationships align closely with our own.”
Andrew Alhadeff, managing director of Savient, said the firm had been built around supporting clients in complex, high-assurance environments, where delivery has to work in practice, not just in theory.
“There is a very clear and very strong alignment with Logiq’s approach and becoming part of Logiq allows us to scale that capability while continuing to support our clients with the same focus and expertise,” he added.
Founded in 2018, Logiq has grown its team of specialists to more than 175, in the process establishing itself as a trusted partner to organisations operating in highly regulated sectors, including defence, central government and critical national infrastructure.
Savient will be integrated with Logiq, with both teams working to ensure a smooth transition while maintaining delivery standards and client relationships.
The value of the deal was not disclosed.
