We are excited to have the opportunity to bring Somerville into the Atturra fold, as it is a trusted technology partner with over 30 years’ experience offering solutions that will complement the Atturra offerings. I am particularly excited to have the industry-leading team of Adrian Toole, David La Bozzetta and Craig Somerville join the Atturra team”

CEO and Founder of Somerville, Craig Somerville, said: “This acquisition represents an outstanding opportunity for Somerville’s staff, clients, and partners. Atturra has forged a strong reputation as a well-respected player within the Australian IT services industry, with long-standing client and partner relationships”.

The transaction is expected to complete on or around March 31, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent in the SSPD, including obtaining the change-of-control consents required for Somerville’s material contracts.
