Interoute agreed to acquire European managed services provider Easynet for an enterprise value of £402 million.
Gareth Williams, Interoute’s CEO commented, “These are exciting times for Interoute and our customers as we create a leading, independent European ICT provider. It’s the next step in our acquisition strategy and moves us much closer to our goal of being the provider of choice to Europe’s digital economy.”
Mark Thompson, CEO of Easynet, commented, “I believe this acquisition will bring great benefits to both Interoute’s and Easynet’s customers. The combined companies can offer broader and deeper connectivity options, as well as an expanded portfolio of products and services, and the acquisition will further expand an already market-leading cloud hosting capability in Europe.”
