Visit Website ↗ + Add to Compare Claim This CompanyOverview
Novem, founded in 2023 and based in Manchester, UK, is a TDC-backed managed IT, cyber resilience, and telecoms provider giving UK small and mid-sized businesses a national platform for cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and managed IT. Its acquisition of Intalect adds a Leicestershire client base and is its fifth acquisition in three years.
The company has grown to more than 75 staff and 8,100 supported users through disciplined regional tuck-ins backed by patient private-credit capital from TDC.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Grows through a disciplined, steady cadence of regional MSP acquisitions (5 in 3 years) rather than fast in-house product cycles.
Supports 8,100+ users across UK businesses with managed IT, cyber resilience and telecoms services.
Fifth acquisition (Intalect) in three years, backed by private-credit investor TDC, sustaining consistent growth momentum.
A conventional regional MSP roll-up, not a category disruptor.
Independently-reported scale (8,100+ supported users) implies real operational trust, though no independent efficacy audit was located.
Regional managed IT/cyber resilience consolidation remains a durable UK mid-market segment.
Why CISOs Should Care
Novem, a TDC-backed managed IT, cyber resilience and telecoms provider, gives UK SME CISOs a growing national platform for cybersecurity, disaster recovery and managed IT, now including Intalect's Leicestershire client base.
What Makes It Different
Combines managed IT, cyber resilience and telecoms under one national platform, growing through disciplined regional tuck-ins (fifth acquisition in three years) backed by patient private-credit capital (TDC).
The Matrix Verdict
38/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
A fast-growing (5 acquisitions in 3 years, 75+ staff, 8,100+ supported users) UK MSP consolidator; Intalect acquisition continues a consistent, well-documented growth trajectory.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Growth figures (75+ staff, 8,100+ supported users, fifth acquisition in three years) are independently corroborated across multiple UK trade outlets (Prolific North, TheBusinessDesk, Business Sale).
