Vysiion

Communications and IT service provider

Company overview

Vysiion is a communications infrastructure and outsourced IT, service provider.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Bruce Brain, Vysiion Group was set up to create an IT services provider that could take advantage of the large and rapidly growing public and private sector market for infrastructure and outsourced IT space.

Vysiion saw EBITDA and revenue more than double during BGF’s investment, and in March 2020 the business was acquired by Exponential-e, a cloud, network and unified communications company, generating a strong return for all shareholders.

The investment and support from BGF over the last 5 years has been instrumental in the development of Vysiion, and today’s acquisition by Exponential-e will see the business well placed to further build upon its strategy of utilising its strong reputation within the Utilities market of delivering and supporting Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). I’m very proud of the achievements of this team and I know they will go from strength to strength.
