CloudClevr revives acquisition strategy after integration

CloudClevr has completed its integration programme and is renewing its acquisition strategy, marking what the UK managed service provider describes as its next phase of growth.

Over the past 18 months, the business has integrated multiple acquisitions into a single operating model and is now focusing on both organic expansion and targeted deals.

As it exits FY26, CloudClevr says the work has left it in a stronger financial and operational position, with a clearer operating model, closer alignment across the business and improved performance in recurring revenue, customer retention and bookings.

A reorganisation of the sales operation, alongside closer links with technical teams, has supported more consistent performance, while stronger bookings momentum in recent months and investment in customer success and service delivery have helped deepen customer relationships.

Growth plan

Backed by Rigby Technology Investments and funded over the long term by NatWest, CloudClevr is re-entering the mergers and acquisitions market. It is seeking targets that complement its existing offer and expand its presence across the UK.

The group has grown through acquisitions in recent years and now has a combined portfolio spanning Digital Workplace, Network Services, and IT & Security. Ongoing investment in its Clevr360 system and a new data warehouse also supports its customer engagement platform.

Steve Harris, Chief Executive Officer of CloudClevr, said the business had moved beyond the integration phase and was preparing to build on that base. “Over the past few years, we’ve done the hard work to bring multiple businesses together, build a unified operating model and create a platform that can scale. That meant investing in our services, our people and the experience we deliver to customers, not just chasing short-term growth,” he said.

He said the company was now in a more disciplined position as it leaves FY26. “As we exit FY26, we’re in a much stronger, more disciplined position. We have a clearer operating model, better alignment across the business, and improved performance in the areas that matter most – recurring revenue, customer retention and bookings momentum. With those foundations now firmly in place, our focus shifts to scale. We’re confident in our model, we know how to integrate businesses effectively, and we see a clear opportunity to accelerate growth both organically and through a targeted M&A programme.”

Leadership team

Alongside the new growth push, CloudClevr has strengthened its senior team with the appointment of Louise Mahrra as Marketing Director. Her arrival follows the earlier appointment of Tony Barker as Chief Financial Officer.

Mahrra has more than 20 years of experience in the UK technology channel. She will lead demand generation and go-to-market activity as the business looks to turn its operational changes into commercial growth.

Mahrra said the integration effort had created a stronger base for the company’s next stage. “What’s clear is that CloudClevr has taken the time to build for scale. The integration work has created a much stronger foundation, operationally, commercially and culturally. As we move into this next phase, the focus is on translating that foundation into consistent, repeatable growth. That means clearer market positioning, stronger alignment between sales and marketing, and a more deliberate approach to how we generate and convert demand. There is a real opportunity to build momentum at pace from here.”

CloudClevr said it is entering FY27 on a stable operating footing after completing the integration of its acquired businesses. Harris summed up the immediate objective: “With the model in place and performance building, our focus now is simple. Scale the business and accelerate growth through both organic expansion and M&A.”
