“Today, businesses are reliant on information technology and minimizing server downtime can directly influence the bottom line,” Andy Donnell, MD at ABM UK said.

“Over the last 25 years, 8 Solutions has built an enviable reputation in helping clients maintain optimum performance levels, and we very much look forward to working closely with David and his team.”

8 Solutions’ MD David Hogg added: “We believe that ABM UK and 8 Solutions share a common, dynamic vision, and we needed little convincing that an invitation to join the ABM family was the right thing to do strategically. 8 Solutions strives to stay one step ahead of its competitors, and we felt that ABM UK would give us the added expertise and support to continue to achieve this.”

The newly-acquired company currently has more than 230 clients including BT, Everything Everywhere, Vodafone, Lloyds TSB, Legal & General, BP, GSK, National Grid, HP, IBM, CBRE, and Unilever.
