London and Belfast digital technology consultancy MCL Digital has been acquired by Amaze.

The acquisition of the company, which was founded by Matt Clarke and Nigel Conde, follows a partnership which was developed over recent years.

It will now be integrated into the Amaze Group with Clarke and Conde joining the technology leadership team which provides strategic technical direction for the company, and will work alongside Jonathan Copnell, operations director.

The company works with clients such as HP, Smart Technologies and UniServity.

Natalie Gross, managing partner at Amaze, said: “The acquisition of MCL Digital is a strategic move for Amaze that will further extend our skills into emerging areas including mobile, SharePoint, rich media delivery and touchscreen technologies. Additionally, MCL Digital will support our existing teams to fulfill the growing demand from our clients for forward-thinking technical consulting as more of them turn to digital to support their business infrastructure.”

Clarke added: “MCL Digital has enjoyed considerable success over the last few years at the forefront of technology. We have developed a proven ability to deliver strategic projects in new areas.  Moving the business into Amaze will enable us to accelerate this model and provide a richer set of services and strategy for our combined customer base.  Over the next few years we will see some interesting developments in our sector as mobile, richer media technologies and cloud based offers really take hold.”
