“I am pleased to confirm that Calyx Managed Services Ltd is now owned by MXC Capital Limited, a London Stock Exchange, AIM quoted merchant bank that invests in UK-based telecommunications, media and technology businesses.

The Partners at MXC have a long and distinguished track record working with UK technology companies and we see this as an excellent opportunity to support our strategic visions and strong track record of successfully delivering managed IT services to the UK mid-market through our growing portfolio of managed cloud, networking and mobility solutions.

This acquisition comes after we have recently reported a growth in profit margin of 266% thanks to growing demand for consultancy, combined with our own operational investment.
