We have advised private equity investment manager Foresight Group on its investment in Distology, a specialist cybersecurity value-added distributor, following NorthEdge’s exit from the business.
Headquartered in Stockport, Distology is a leading distributor of cybersecurity solutions, supporting technology vendors across the UK and Northern Europe through the IT channel, with operations in the Netherlands and Germany.
The investment follows a period of strong growth under NorthEdge’s ownership, during which Distology expanded its vendor portfolio and increased its international presence. The business has also established a strong reputation within the IT channel, receiving multiple industry awards and recognitions.
Foresight’s investment will support the next phase of Distology’s growth strategy, enabling continued investment in its people, technology and strategic initiatives, while supporting further expansion across the UK and Europe.
The team from Gateley Legal was led by partner and head of our Manchester corporate team Leigh Whittaker and corporate partner Ffion Brumwell-Hughes. Support was given by corporate solicitor Harry Davies, banking partner Christopher Lister and tax associate Rachel Palmer.
