We have advised CCS Media, a UK-based IT solution specialist, on its sale to Advania, a portfolio company of Goldman Sachs and one of the largest providers of IT services in Northern Europe. The combined businesses will further accelerate growth and offer midmarket customers in the UK a fresh approach to IT services, via a highly differentiated, end-to-end capability and truly customer-centric offering.
CCS Media is a technology and solution specialist with over 41 years of experience delivering first-class IT solutions and services to organisations of every kind across the UK and beyond. In 2024 alone CCS Media have won awards from world-leading vendors including Dell, HPE, Lenovo and Logitech.
A network of 11 offices and logistics configuration centres, CCS Media secures unrivalled nationwide scale for supply and service, matched with the comfort of a local presence. CCS Media works with over 2,000 manufacturer partners and sells over one million products to 8,000 customers.
The combination will enable new and existing customers of Advania and CCS Media to access deep and broad expertise within IT services and to transform core business processes, optimise spend and secure operations through a single service provider.
This acquisition aligns with Advania's strategic focus on expanding both its footprint and its capability within the UK market. The combination will enable a highly complementary solutions and services offering, providing top tier depth and breadth of expertise across an end-to-end customer-centric offering commensurate with the group’s overall strategy. It will also offer the UK midmarket a much needed fresh and comprehensive approach to IT services from a scaled provider with access to the full resources of Advania.
This transaction represents a key milestone in Advania’s broader goal of becoming the leading IT services provider in Northern Europe and will further accelerate the growth of the group.
This deal is subject to completion.
