We are pleased to announce the successful sale of Optimity, the specialist IT managed service provider predominantly servicing London and the South of England, to Vorboss. Vorboss, London’s leading fibre network built exclusively for business, is part of the Fern Trading Group, backed by Octopus Investments.
Optimity has been on a transformative journey since FPE’s investment, having started life as an internet connectivity provider in Central London, providing a wireless alternative to fibre for SMEs. Since our investment, Optimity has evolved into an end-to-end IT managed services provider, with specialisms in Microsoft and cybersecurity, and across a range of customer sizes from SME to enterprise. Both organic and inorganic growth has driven this transformation.
Leeland Pavey, CEO of Optimity We owe a huge debt of gratitude to FPE for their support and partnership, which has been a true catalyst for our growth. Their strategic insights and consistent support allowed us to invest, expand our product portfolio, and build a world-class team, laying the solid foundations for this next exciting phase. We are deeply appreciative of FPE's contribution and are eagerly looking forward to integrating with Vorboss, confident that this will unlock even greater opportunities for our customers and our dedicated employees.
Connor Trendell, Investment Director at FPE This realisation of the investment in Optimity reflects the completion of a transformative journey from a pure connectivity provider to a full service specialist IT managed service provider. This evolution has been driven both organically and inorganically and is reflective of both FPE’s experience in the wider technology services space and the strong work of CEO Leeland Pavey, CFO Rupert Mussen and the broader Optimity management team
FPE’s team was led by Connor Trendell and Harry Gill. FPE was advised by Acuity (Corporate Finance) and Stephenson Harwood (Legal).
