Digital development and hosting company Ixis has bought Cheshire-headquartered e-commerce firm LiberoNet.

Warrington-headquartered Ixis, which also has offices in London and Manchester, has historically specialised in development, support and maintenance, and hosting, but is now expanding to cover other open source platforms.

The acquisition of LiberoNet, which was founded in 2010 and offers a range of e-commerce, UX creative and web development services, is seen as a key part of this diversification strategy.

LiberoNet’s four full-time staff will be relocating from their office in Birchwood and joining Ixis’ headquarters at The Base in Central Warrington.
