Arrow Business Communications Limited announces acquisition of Pescado Ltd.

Richard Burke, CEO, Arrow

Pescado is a specialist in providing Collaboration solutions, such as Cloud Telephony and Mobility and also offers a wide range of Cloud and Infrastructure solutions to its considerable customer base. Established back in 2006, it’s grown into a highly successful and trustworthy technology partner with in excess of 2,500 customers, with offices established in both Ewloe in North Wales and Belfast, in Northern Ireland.

Both Pescado and Arrow have a great deal in common, because both offer their clients and customers a similar range of solutions from similar suppliers to customers throughout all sectors of industry. 

Indeed, Pescado has demonstrated that it has considerable strengths in sales and commercial operations over a number of years. It’s felt that this will enhance Arrow’s ability to cross and upsell into its client base, which now exceeds 7,000 customers.

It is emphasised all staff and directors of Pescado will continue in employment and will become members of the Arrow group, which will ensure a smooth transition for all its highly valued clients.

Says Fraser Watson, who is Pescado’s Group MD: “From our initial meetings with the Arrow team I felt our views on the industry appeared to be perfectly aligned. I really believe that by working with Arrow, we can continue to take our customers on an exciting technologically driven journey, but at the same time offering our staff even greater opportunities as members of a larger group. I am, of course, looking forward to helping take the business forward with the backing and support of Arrow. 

“Bringing the deal to a happy conclusion faced problems brought about by the COVID situation,  but I'm extremely happy with the successful outcome and completion. This will ensure a bright future for everyone who is involved.”

Richard Burke, CEO of Arrow adds: “I’m really looking forward to greeting the vastly experienced Pescado team and welcome the chance to work alongside them to drive forward the organic growth of key areas, groupwide. 

“Pescado's sales focused competency when combined and linked with Arrow’s broad product offering and expertise will greatly enhance our ability to be winners in the marketplace.”
