Evergreen acquires Digital Origin in UK managed IT services expansion

Evergreen, a group of chief managed IT services and software companies has announced its acquisition of Digital Origin, an IT service company located in Milton Keynes. This marks the second expansion effort by Evergreen into the UK's managed services provider (MSP) market, following its acquisition of The Final Step last year.

Digital Origin, established in August 2018, has been providing comprehensive IT solutions to businesses throughout the UK. Its unique business model, known as 'Connectivity-as-a-Service' or 'CaaS', offers wholesale IT, MSP, and cyber security solutions across three sectors: IT connectivity, telephony, and mobile solutions.

Evergreen, a company with a strong track record, managing more than 80 IT services acquisitions, offers companies a permanent home, thereby maintaining talent preservation and company legacies. This business approach is expected to provide Digital Origin with the necessary tools for sustainability and growth.

Vice President of Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) at Evergreen, Sydney Hockett, expressed her enthusiasm for this joint venture. She said, "The shared values and missions between Evergreen and Digital Origin is what makes this acquisition so compelling and mutually beneficial. Digital Origin's commitment to technological innovation, outstanding customer service, and world-class team fits well with Evergreen's strategic vision and values."

She added, "Digital Origin will be an integral part of our continued UK expansion."

The CEO of Digital Origin, James Evans, showed his excitement about this strategic move. He asserted that, "This deal represents the next pivot point in an increasingly exciting journey that Digital Origin started back in 2018, we now have the rocket fuel required to take us and our clients forward as we traverse the digital Agora and the next leg of our evolution. We couldn't be more excited."

Both Evergreen and Digital Origin stand out with their unique approach to enabling their clients to achieve their goals. Evergreen's commitment to preserving legacy and talent, alongside their impressive history of over 80 IT services acquisitions, underpins Digital Origin's capacity for sustainability and progress.

As a result of this acquisition, Digital Origin will have the resources and opportunities to propel its business growth and innovation for the foreseeable future. This marks the beginning of Digital Origin's next phase of growth, narrowed down on it being "a better, safer working environment so clients can focus exclusively on achieving their aspirational goals and objectives."
