Portfolio News: Owlis Technology Group launches with three strategic acquisitions 

Owlis Group announces its launch, with its acquisitions of three established managed service providers; Cube 6, ADNS Group, and CenCom – as part of an ambitious buy-and-build strategy to create a nationally integrated IT services platform.  

Owlis Group is focused on combining best-in-class technical expertise, operational excellence, and shared capability to deliver core IT services, digital transformation solutions, and cloud services to businesses across the UK. 

The Group is currently led by CFO Richard Vogt, who is overseeing the platform’s strategic development and integration. With a background spanning several board-level roles and long-term involvement in scaling technology businesses, Richard brings deep expertise in financial strategy, M&A, and growth execution, as well as strong knowledge of market commercials. Prior to joining Owlis, Richard spent 12 years supporting the growth of technology businesses, developing a strong track record in navigating complex transactions and building scalable financial frameworks to support expansion. 

A unified vision for the UK MSP market 

Owlis Group enters a UK MSP market with a clear vision to unite high-quality regional providers under a single, collaborative structure. The strategy is centred on preserving the identity and strengths of each business while enabling scale, investment, and enhanced service delivery through shared capability. 

Owlis’ investment will enable the Group’s companies to serve customers nationally through its network of regional offices, improve productivity and efficiency through investment in technology and offer customers market leading service responsiveness and technical expertise. 

 

Founding acquisitions 

 

Cube 6 

In February 2026, Colchester-based Cube 6 IT joined Owlis Group, marking a pivotal moment in its 20-year journey. 

Founded by Dave Garrett and Lynne Garrett, Cube 6 has built a strong reputation delivering a wide range of managed IT services. 

As the leadership team explored options to secure the company’s long-term future, Owlis Group stood out as a partner aligned with its values and growth ambitions. 

“The structure of the deal works best for our overall ambitions in the short, medium and long term while preserving our DNA,” said Dave Garrett. “Their focus on protecting our people and preserving our customer-first culture made the difference.” 

“We retain the autonomy to lead the business, while having the support needed to drive growth and help build a leading IT MSP group,” added Lynne Garrett. 

Looking ahead, Cube 6 is positioned to accelerate its growth as a key regional hub within the Owlis platform. 

 

ADNS Group 

Led by Jamie Allinson & John Lupton, ADNS Group brings a strong track record of rapid growth and technical delivery to the platform. 

Based in the North-East of England, with offices in Teesside and Gateshead, ADNS provides nationwide IT support, communications, network, and security solutions. 

Over the past decade, the business has achieved exceptional growth, with a reported increase of over 2,700%, reflecting its ability to deliver flexible, high-performance solutions to modern IT challenges. 

 

CenCom 

Founded in 2003 by Cenydd Milne and Nick Portch, CenCom Solutions has evolved from a traditional IT support provider into a modern managed service partner. 

Originally focused on Microsoft software, desktop systems, and local server environments, CenCom has successfully transitioned into cloud services and proactive IT management. 

Today, the business acts as an outsourced IT department for its clients, delivering security, monitoring, and integrated on-premises and cloud solutions. 

 

Building a platform for talent, capability, and growth 

Owlis Group’s model is designed not only to scale services, but also to create meaningful career progression opportunities for IT professionals across the UK. 

By combining technical expertise across its portfolio, the Group aims to: 

  • Enhance service delivery through shared knowledge  
  • Invest in continuous learning and development  
  • Provide clients with a single strategic partner for complex IT needs  

 

Looking ahead 

With three acquisitions completed, Owlis Group is well-positioned to become a leading force in the UK MSP market. 

The Group will continue to identify and partner with high-quality MSP businesses that share its commitment to technical excellence, customer service, and long-term growth.
