We have completed the acquisition of managed service provider NVT Group, headquartered in Bellshill, marking our third acquisition in two years and strengthening our presence across Scotland.
This acquisition forms part of our continued growth strategy, expanding our regional footprint and increasing the scale and resilience behind the services we deliver. NVT Group supports over 90 organisations and brings a highly experienced team with strong, long-standing customer relationships.
NVT Group’s customer base closely aligns with our focus on mid-sized UK organisations that require secure, high-quality managed services. This creates a strong fit across both service delivery and customer requirements, allowing us to build on existing relationships while extending our capability.
Founded in 1988, NVT Group is a well-established IT services provider with a longstanding presence across Scotland. This acquisition ensures immediate assurance and continuity for customers and employees, backed by Aspire’s scale, capability and investment, and establishes a stronger platform for long-term growth.
All employees have transferred to Aspire as part of the transaction, and the combined team will operate from our Glasgow hub, working as one team within Aspire’s delivery model.
“We are delighted to welcome the team at NVT Group into Aspire. They have built a strong business with an established customer base and deep expertise.
Our priority is to provide immediate continuity for both customers and the team, while enhancing the service they receive through Aspire’s scale and capability. This acquisition strengthens our presence in Scotland, while maintaining the high level of service and support our customers expect. Bringing the teams together in Glasgow will create a stronger platform for growth as we continue to invest in the region.”
Chris Fraser
CEO and Founder of Aspire
“Joining Aspire marks an important step for the business, giving our customers and team confidence in the future. Aspire’s culture is strongly aligned with NVT, demonstrated by both organisations’ long term customer relationships. Dougie Weir, Group Operations Director, and, Hamish Fraser, Group Managing Director, will continue to play a key role in the business, maintaining strong relationships with customers and colleagues. This creates a strong platform for further technical development of our people and a broader solution portfolio for our customers.”
