October 2022
Founded in 2006, Acora specialises in providing managed IT services to mid-market customers across a range of sectors, with particular expertise in financial, insurance and other professional services.
The company, which employs more than 550 people across its five UK service operation centres and its London City office, operates worldwide and is pioneering a game-changing new approach to managed services by placing user experience at the centre of IT provision, reporting and decision-making.
Led by CEO David Rabson, CFO Gary Page, Chairman Richard Atkins, and a highly experienced senior leadership team, Acora has completed five acquisitions since 2020 and continues to achieve double-digit organic growth.
A partnership to support the next phase of development
LDC first backed Acora’s management team in October 2022 to support the future strategy, focused on further innovation, organic growth and acquisitions.
The business has since completed two acquisitions, Infosec Partners Ltd, one of the leading cyber security players in the UK and data science and AI specialist Elastacloud.
