A CALIFORNIAN tech giant has purchased a Scottish firm specialising in delivering networking and communications solutions.

Hamilton headquartered Provista UK had recently recorded record revenues of £7.7 million, following consistent and profitable organic growth throughout its 11 years in business.

The firm’s sound financial model paired with its status as the only independent Scottish-based firm to hold Cisco Gold Partner status helped attract the NASDAQ-listed PCM to acquire the business and instantly expand its UK footprint.

In the past year the 33-strong firm has landed major public sector contracts for NHS Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire Council, adding to a client list that already includes Wood Mackenzie, Stewart Investors, Aggreko, AG Barr, Digby Brown, Balfour Beatty and Greater Glasgow NHS.

Stuart Little, director of Provista UK, said: “When PCM contacted us and shared their vision for the UK, it fit perfectly with our own ambitions to accelerate the growth of Provista in the UK – while maintaining our customer-focussed culture.

“After having built the business to achieve Cisco Gold Partner status, it is exciting to now be able to be part of PCM and take the business to the next level. We can now offer our solutions and services across the UK while complementing the other robust PCM offerings.”

Provista UK now has its sights set on future expansion, by leveraging its new parent company’s wider network.
