Rydal Group has acquired Merula Limited, a data centre and ISP services provider.
This strategic acquisition strengthens Rydal Group’s service portfolio, enabling it to deliver enhanced solutions to both its partners and customers.
With more than 30 years’ experience, Merula brings expertise in data centre infrastructure and ISP services. This acquisition enables Rydal Group to provide more comprehensive, controlled and robust service offerings, including access to dedicated rack space and the use of multiple broadband options such as traditional broadband, mobile and satellite services through Merula’s data centre.
Rydal Group has also launched a portal that gives clients access to major alternative network offerings. Combined with Merula’s established data centre capabilities, this acquisition positions Rydal Group at the forefront of service delivery.
Steffan Dancy, CEO of Rydal Group, said, "Acquiring Merula Limited is a significant step forward for Rydal Group. By bringing the data centre and ISP capabilities in-house, and with the launch of our new partner portal, we’re able to fully control our infrastructure, enhancing the quality, flexibility, and value of the services we offer both our partners and customers. This acquisition positions Rydal and those we serve at the forefront of technological advancement in an increasingly competitive industry."
The integration of Merula’s services with Rydal’s existing portfolio will create a more unified and robust offering for connectivity, phone systems, mobile solutions and IT MSP support.
Richard Palmer, managing director of Merula, will transition into a new role as group technical lead, focusing on infrastructure development and innovation within the newly-combined entity. The Merula team will remain in place to ensure continuity of service.
