Interactive Technical Solutions LTD Sells To Cohort PLC

Interactive Technical Solution Ltd (ITS) specialises in providing technical publications, Integrated Logistic Support, Training and other services to the UK MOD, the defence sector and prime engineering contractors. It has been established for over 20 years by co-founders Ian Birchall and Stephen Preston.

The business was integrated into Cohort PLC through its subsidiary Marlborough Communications (Communications and Intelligence division) who acquired 100% of Interactive Technical Solutions Ltd for a cash consideration. Marlborough Communications supplies cutting-edge intelligence collection, communications and robotic technology to the Armed Forces and Police.

Our “Fit to Sell” and “Fit for the Future” preparation enabled Stephen and Ian the founders to realise their shareholder value immediately and avoid having to accept any long term earn out or deferred payment. It also assisted in being able to very clearly demonstrate the various strengths of the business to the prospective buyers in an authentic and demonstrable way. Such as the process driven nature of the business instilled by the two founders, the positive future outlook of the business, the historical retention of clients and their relationships and collaboration with them as well as the long term nature of much of their work.
