LONDON – British technology distributor Northamber PLC (AIM:NAR) said it has acquired the UK hardware business of Nuvias UC, known as NUC Distribution Ltd, for a maximum consideration of £7.1 million in cash.
The deal, completed pursuant to a share purchase agreement following a hive down of the NUC Business from seller Nuvias UC, marks Northamber’s latest move to consolidate its position in the audiovisual (AV) and unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) market.
NUC is a leading specialist distributor of UC hardware, video collaboration systems, and enterprise voice solutions in the UK, serving over 700 customers.
“The Acquisition is an important step in Northamber’s strategy to build a leading value-added, scaled presence across AV, UC and smart-workspace technology,” the company said in a statement.
The board believes the purchase will strengthen Northamber’s portfolio in Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, and enterprise voice, while enhancing technical capabilities in solution design and deployment support. It follows Northamber’s recent acquisitions of Tempura Communications in April 2024 and Epatra in February 2025.
The total consideration of up to £7.1 million comprises an initial amount of up to £1.7 million and a further sum of up to £5.4 million for stock owned by NUC at completion, subject to a post-completion stock check adjustment. The final purchase price may also be adjusted based on the business’s performance against certain benchmarks over a two-year period.
Payments are structured with deferred instalments, with the final instalment due no later than Jan. 15, 2028.
Following the acquisition, NUC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northamber. The seller has agreed to provide transitional services for an agreed period.
Based on unaudited management accounts, the NUC Business generated revenues of £28.8 million and a gross profit of £3.2 million for the 12 months to Oct. 30, 2025. Net assets stood at £5.0 million as of Nov. 29, 2025.
“We are delighted to welcome Nuvias UC’s hardware business, NUC Distribution, and its highly specialist team into the Northamber Group,” said Alex Phillips, Executive Chairman of Northamber. “This addition broadens our reach and accelerates our growth in one of the fastest-evolving technology markets.”
