Waterford-headquartered IT, security and telecoms company, HCS has announced its acquisition of fellow Waterford-based company Fixaphone.

The deal will add 750 Fixaphone customers to HCS' portfolio, with the latter forecasting that telecoms turnover will increase to €1 million over the next three years.

HCS, which also has bases in Dublin and Cork, will integrate Fixaphone into the HCS brand with immediate effect.

Fixaphone's managing director Mick Foley said he is delighted the two companies are "joining forces", adding they have a "golden opportunity to leverage each other's expertise to accelerate our shared growth".

HCS' head of operations Sean Hegarty added: "This acquisition will bolster our telecoms services offerings, so we can provide our customers with best-in-class solutions to allow them greater flexibility and enable them to grow."
