The UC sector has enjoyed strong growth in the post-COVID years, and, with technology continuing to develop, alongside growing digitalisation, this is set to continue for years to come. To have the best chance of capitalising on the opportunities that come with the predicted growth, an increasing number of companies in the sector are looking to grow by acquiring rivals, such as Northamber, which bought Nuvias UC’s hardware business for £7.1 million at the beginning of December. Ian Kilpatrick, non-executive director of Northamber, says the business is a natural strategic fit for Northamber, which will accelerate its growth in the AV and UC markets. The acquisition of the £28.8 million hardware revenue business delivers greater depth across Microsoft Teams and Zoom-certified video systems,
enterprise voice and telephony, specialist UC endpoints, and smart workspace and meeting-room solutions with the Nuvias UC team bringing expertise in provisioning, configuration, technical pre-sales and enhanced warranty and support. For partners, this means improved availability, stronger vendor alignment, expanded technical support and comprehensive collaboration solutions all under one roof. Combined with Northamber’s existing AV and UC portfolio, the acquisition creates a unified, scalable platform covering the spectrum of AV, UC&C and smart-office solutions. It also builds on Northamber’s acquisition of Tempura Communications in 2024 and Epatra in BeNeLux in 2025. “The Nuvias UC acquisition brings significant scale,” says Ian. “It brings us the team, the customers and a
