Strategic Acquisitions and Sensitivity

Northamber plc pursue growth through both organic and strategic acquisitions; when reviewing acquisitions we look for entrepreneurial companies that resonate with our focus areas and values. We recognise the significance of supporting growth through by providing capital injection, broadening reseller and vendor partner access, optimising warehouse and systems, and numerous other support mechanisms to allow management from acquired companies to drive growth and expand their reach.

 

A good example of our founder friendly approach to acquisitions was demonstrated in 2020, when we proudly welcomed AVM Ltd into the Northamber family, a move that not only expanded our capabilities but also allowed us to integrate a wealth of talent and expertise. The acquisition of AVM Ltd exemplifies our dedication to fostering growth while respecting the unique culture and values of the businesses we acquire. AVM continues to operate with its senior management team from pre-acquisition but has benefited from access to Northamber’s reach, resources, and experience.

 

In 2024 we acquired two new businesses, specialist unified communications & collaboration (UC&C) distributor, Tempura Communications Ltd, and industry-leading Cyber Security and Compliance solutions distributor, Renaissance Contingency Services Ltd. As with AVM, both businesses continue to be led by their existing senior management team to ensure customers, suppliers and most importantly the staff, see as little disruption as possible.

Both companies benefit from the support of the larger business, ensuring their future growth.

In February 2025, Northamber acquired Epatra B.V. in the Netherlands and Belgium, expanding its European presence. Specialising in Smart Office AV solutions, Epatra brings strong vendor partnerships and a loyal reseller base, supporting Northamber’s growth strategy across AV, UC&C, and infrastructure in the Benelux region.

Also in February 2025, Northamber’s subsidiary Epatra acquired Sahara Benelux B.V., a respected AV distributor in the Netherlands. With strong ties to Christie Digital and Matrox, the move strengthens Epatra’s Benelux presence and supports Northamber’s broader European growth strategy. Read the full announcement here.

At Northamber, our team is not just a workforce; they are the heartbeat of our success. We believe that a thriving, motivated workforce is the key to sustainable growth and long-term success.

 

We recognize that acquisitions can present both an opportunity and a nervousness for employees, we work hard to ensure that undue impact is minimized from any acquisition and place a strong focus on our values, including, winning as a team.
