European cybersecurity distributor Elovade Group has entered the UK market through the acquisition of Brigantia Partners Ltd., based in North Yorkshire.
The deal is Elovade’s eighth and largest acquisition, strengthening its footprint across Europe, where it already operates in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Nordics and Italy. Brigantia, headquartered in Thirsk, will continue to operate under its existing brand for the time being.
The acquisition retains Brigantia’s current vendor portfolio and team, with managing director Angus Shaw now leading Elovade’s operations across the UK and Ireland. Founder Iain Shaw and chairman Martin Wright are exiting the business as part of the transition.
Elovade, formerly known as EBERTLANG, is pursuing strategic growth in European markets with a focus on IT security and managed services. The acquisition adds a UK distribution network to its offering and positions Brigantia as a key part of its plans, including the potential future rollout of Elovade Cloud Services in the region.
The transaction was advised by Watson Farley & Williams, BDO, and Singular Group AG on behalf of Elovade and HQ Equita, while KPMG and Squire Patton Boggs advised Brigantia.
