Novem has completed its fifth acquisition in three years with the purchase of Intalect, an IT services business based in Leicestershire.
Founded in 2004, Intalect provides managed IT services including cybersecurity, disaster recovery and Voice over Internet Protocol services. The acquisition expands Manchester-based Novem’s regional presence and adds engineering capacity and technical expertise to the group’s operations.
The combined business will provide broader IT and technology support services to customers across the UK. Novem has also confirmed plans for a new Midlands Hub office in Coventry.
Alex Heslip, chief executive of Novem, said the acquisition adds “significant scale to our Midlands credentials, bringing valuable additional skills and strong customer relationships.”
Heslip added: “We’re very excited about the opening of our new Midlands Hub office in Coventry, where our people will collaborate and deliver industry leading service from.”
Richard Hamilton, co-founder and director of Intalect, said: “Becoming part of the group gives our customers access to an enhanced range of services without losing the quality or care they value. It’s a strong platform for the next phase of growth.”
The transaction follows a series of acquisitions completed by Novem since 2023, supported by Independence Capital and UK private credit investor TDC. The company said its growth has increased staffing levels to more than 75 employees supporting more than 8,100 people across UK businesses.
Jon Petty, investment director at TDC, said: “Since first supporting Alex and the team in 2023, Novem has continued to build on the growing demand for managed IT services, expanding its national platform all from a Manchester headquarters.
“This is exactly what we set out to do with our Impact Fund, providing the capital needed for Northern businesses to scale at pace, all while accelerating local opportunity.”
