BGF, a growth capital investor, has announced a £9 million investment in Kubus, a leading technology value-added reseller (VAR) headquartered in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
The investment continues a strong year for BGF’s South West team following a £9 million investment in Plant-Ex, a £5 million investment in PureCyber and the successful exit of Hydrock which delivered a 6x multiple return and a 40 per cent IRR for BGF. The company’s new investment in Kubus aims to support Kubus in accelerating its growth, expanding its service offerings and driving innovation as a trusted technology partner for blue-chip businesses and public sector organisations worldwide.
Founded in 2003, Kubus has established itself as a key player in the technology and managed services industry, working with some of the most innovative vendors including Juniper Networks, Cisco, Dell, Fortinet and Pentera.
The £9 million investment from BGF will enable Kubus to:
- Support growth through targeted acquisitions
- Enhance its marketing and sales capabilities to reach a broader audience
- Strengthen its operational infrastructure to support increased demand
- Explore new market opportunities and strategic partnerships
Alongside BGF’s investment, the Kubus leadership team has also been bolstered with the appointment of highly experienced Non-executive Chair Paul Brennan through BGF’s Talent Network. Paul is an experienced Chair focusing on fast-growth technology and tech-enabled businesses, and working with shareholders, executives, and founder teams to enable significant growth. He previously sat on the board of BGF-backed Amdaris, which was acquired by Insight Enterprises Inc, a Fortune 500 business, in August 2023.
Andrew Humphrey, CEO of Kubus, said: “We are thrilled to partner with BGF and leverage their expertise and resources to take Kubus to the next level. As a business based in the heart of the Cotswolds, we’re proud to be working with businesses and organisations across the world. This investment will allow us to accelerate our global growth plans, innovate faster, and deliver even greater value to our customers. With the added support of Paul Brennan in his new role as non-executive chair, the road ahead looks very exciting indeed.”
