Stephen O’Brien, pure technology group CEO, said: “I’m really pleased to welcome our Keytech colleagues to the team, as we share so many similar values. Adding its 25+ years of experience to our existing model is a tremendous opportunity for us to pool knowledge, resources and capabilities, as well as realise much bigger joint ambitions.”

Steve Critchley, managing director of Keytech, added: “Joining the pure technology group is an incredibly exciting prospect. Giving us access to a larger supply chain and a great sales and marketing engine, it will make a real difference to the business, our customers and our staff. We can see clearly how we’ll fit in from day one without huge change.”

PTG said it would be continuing on its acquisition trail, ideally within the London area.
