A private equity-backed IT, cloud and digital transformation specialist based in Manchester has expanded with the acquisition of a Warrington business.

The takeover of Xicon Cloud by BCN Group is designed to strengthen its capabilities in managing and supporting business-critical applications in private cloud environments.

It will also provide the opportunity for BCN, which is backed by private equity firm Beech Tree, to broaden its product portfolio.

The acquisition is the third in the past 18 months for the group, which bought Leeds-based Blue Logic in 2019 and Runcorn’s Polymorph in February 2020.
