A leading Yorkshire telecommunications and IT company has extended its capability, following the acquisition of a specialist Zero-Trust IT and cyber security business.

Northern Telecom has welcomed Newport-based C-STEM into the wider group, thanks to legal support from North East law firm Mincoffs Solicitors.

C-STEM, which marks the group’s third acquisition this year, specialises in Zero Trust architecture and managed IT solutions, to help businesses avoid lost productivity time, maximise value and reduce operational and commercial risks.

The transaction furthers Northern Telecom’s investment into Wales, following the acquisition of Dyfed Telecom in February, with the acquisition marking the group’s 23rd to date.

Group CEO Jon Graves said: “The group has had a great year and the acquisition of C-STEM gives us new capability and markets which will unlock further growth potential in the business.

“Chris and the Mincoffs team are way more than suppliers to our business. They have been instrumental in our acquisition strategy and are critical to the growth of our business.”

Chris Hughes, partner in Mincoffs Solicitors’ corporate team, said: “We have worked closely with Jon and the team for a number of years now and it was our pleasure to deliver another successful transaction for the group.

“Northern Telecom continues to go from strength to strength and this latest acquisition complements the team’s plans for growth and bolsters their IT and cyber security offering.

“We wish C-STEM continued success within the group and look forward to working closely with Jon and the team on future deals.”

Mincoffs Solicitors has provided expert legal services and advice across the North East and beyond for more than 75 years.

Alongside corporate and commercial services, the firm’s offering includes real estate, dispute resolution, employment law, licensing and gaming, residential conveyancing, family law and wills, probate and trusts.
