Tenzing's Smoothwall makes first bolt-on with Future Digital

Tenzing is understood to have supported the bolt-on, which is the first for Smoothwall since being backed by the GP last year.

The lower-mid-market investor bought Leeds-based web filtering technology provider Smoothwall in October last year. Tenzing held a final close for its maiden fund on its £200m hard-cap in January 2017, after three months on the road. The fund targets buyout investments in UK businesses valued at up to £75m.

Tenzing stated that Future Digital's cloud-based monitoring service would complement Smoothwall's Visigo offering, enabling the business to offer a wider range of safeguarding products.
