Chief executive Phil Doye added: “Until now a small number of dominant players have controlled the majority stake in the ICT solutions and services market, limiting the choices for enterprises. We believe Kelway now has the necessary capabilities and scale to offer a viable alternative.”
Simon Lawless, sales director of ISC, added: “Our clients will continue to receive the high standards of service they are accustomed to but will now have the added benefit of Kelway’s expertise in ICT strategy and end-to-end project management.”
