Dynamic kicks off its expansion plans with the acquisition of Peak Support Services

Kingland Capital-backed Dynamic Networks continues its expansion with the acquisition of Peak Support Services, a Derby based Cloud MSP. Peak is Dynamic’s first acquisition and within four months of Kingland’s initial investment – adding further scale and capability to the group. 

For over 25 years, Peak Support has been at the forefront of delivering exceptional IT managed services across Support, Consulting, Compliance, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, Cloud Telephony and more. Peak’s capability complements Dynamic’s strong organic growth and bolsters the Group’s position as a leading IT MSP.  They have partnered with some of the best hardware and software providers in the industry to offer high-quality services to a diverse range of c.100 SMEs.

David Smith, CEO at Dynamic commented:

“Peak Support Services is a great strategic fit with Dynamic, strengthening our suite of market-leading technology solutions that help our Customers across the country. We have enjoyed working with Rob and the business in recent months and we really look forward to continuing to grow alongside the talented team at Peak.”

Rob Broatch, Founder and CEO at Peak, commented:

“After more than 25 years as a family-run business, the time was right for Peak to benefit from being part of a larger group, able to service a wider customer base. Dynamic were a logical fit for us with their focus on quality of service and similar company values. There are exciting times ahead for our staff and customers and I very much look forward to working with the Dynamic team in the months ahead.”

Paul Landsman, Founder at Kingland Capital, commented:

“The acquisition of Peak is a continuation of our journey to create a market leader in IT managed service provision. The business was acquired off-market and is a clear indicator of the targeted growth strategy at Dynamic since our backing in October 2023.”
