EBM looks to acquire for growth (Print. IT Reseller)
In this months Print IT Reseller magazine (EBM looks to acquire for growth March 2022). Mick and Mark Bailey were interviewed about our growth plans, and how we’ve managed to grow over the past few years.
Michael (Mick) Bailey established EBM Managed Services in 2005. As a service engineer with over 25 years’ experience,his focus was firmly on creating a company that had excellence in customer service at its core – that philosophy remains as pertinent today as it was on day one.
EBM quickly developed an excellent reputation for its exceptional service provision and just three years later, had grown exponentially. By 2008, it had expanded in size four-fold and occupied an additional three units on the same site – bringing its total square footage to 2,000 sq. ft. It was at this point that son Mark joined the business. In October 2014, he was promoted to Managing Director, succeeding Mick who has semi-retired. Although he retains his seat on the board and continues to conduct the odd service call-out.
For the past four years, EBM has been transforming the business from a print-centric MPS provider to a managed service provider. They are now eyeing up acquisitions in the IT and telecoms space as the route to future growth. The company serves SMEs. A sector that is moving away from managing IT in-house and instead looking to outsource to a dedicated service provider. In January 2017, it partnered with an IT company to build up its IT credentials. This collaboration was designed to allow EBM to provide comprehensive IT consultancy,. Whilst giving great support and solutions to its growing SME customer base.
