Their award-winning team of quality engineers and strong leadership bring a wealth of expertise and innovative capability to our organisation that will benefit everyone involved.”
Danny Crone, Founder of nFocus explains: “When Ross Lister and I embarked on this journey nearly a quarter of a century ago, our vision was to build a business where talented individuals could thrive and where we could continuously delight our customers. I am incredibly proud to say that we have not only achieved this, but our team’s dedication and hard work have placed us in a remarkable position. This has led to an incredible and like-minded organisation, 2i, taking notice and expressing a desire to partner with us.”
The acquisition reflects 2i’s long-term growth strategy while strengthening its delivery capacity and sector reach. By leveraging nFocus’ complementary strengths, 2i aims to drive operational efficiencies, innovate service delivery, and further improve customer experiences.
Ryan James, Managing Director at nFocus says: “This is an exciting and pivotal moment for us. Two of the most successful testing organisations in the UK coming together in an organic way to create something truly unique and remarkable. Over the past three years, we have doubled our permanent headcount, onboarded over 40 new clients, and launched an award-winning Test Engineer Academy that has helped to address an industrywide scarcity. Joining forces with 2i amplifies this success, positioning us as the go-to provider for quality assurance and testing services.”
