One Four Nine Group appoints LIMA to support M&A-led growth

                                                             

Nationwide independent Chartered financial planning and investment management firm, One Four Nine Group, has awarded LIMA a three-year contract to support its growth through the delivery of a comprehensive IT modernisation and ongoing managed services.

Since launching in 2021, One Four Nine Group has completed a series of acquisitions as part of its growth strategy. The integration and harmonisation of these acquired firms into a secure and centralised Group IT structure is of the utmost importance to ensure business continuity to staff and client service.

One Four Nine Group has 5,000 clients with £2bn of assets under advice, operates across 11 UK locations and will continue to grow through further acquisitions.

LIMA is a specialist at supporting businesses to scale IT operations in a predictable and efficient manner during significant M&A activity. By offering templated, scalable and secure IT environments, LIMA supports smooth acquisition processes, resource planning and due diligence.

LIMA will deliver its flagship Proactive Managed Service offering to One Four Nine Group, alongside Vulnerability Detection and Remediation (VDR), On Demand Service Desk (ODSD), Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).

Stuart Harding, COO from One Four Nine Group said: “As a fast-growing financial planning firm, we need to make sure we’re partnering with firms that have exceptional experience and understanding of the demands that M&A activity can have on a business. After meeting LIMA, it was clear that they were the right partner to offer both the technical expertise and, importantly, the personal touch to support us through our next phase of growth.”

LIMA CEO Danny Masters added: “When a business is growing through acquisition, IT can either hold it back or help it scale smoothly. One Four Nine Group has recognised the need for a consistent, repeatable approach that supports due diligence, integration and long-term planning. We’re proud to be working with them to deliver an IT approach that removes uncertainty and allows the leadership team to focus on growing the business.”

As One Four Nine Group enters its next phase of growth, the partnership with LIMA provides the structure and technical assurance needed to support further acquisitions, while maintaining a strong focus on security, performance and client experience.
