Endless’s Liberata in double bolt-on

In early October, Liberata acquired the business and assets of a Coventry-based group comprising Trinity Expert System, Eurodata and TES Group.

The transaction saw 340 employees moving across to the enlarged business. The deal provided the group with a £5m recapitalisation and working capital facilities.

Liberata acquired Knowledge Hub in mid-November.

Previous investment
Endless purchased Liberata in January 2011 from General Atlantic Partners. Endless invested £20m to support the company's growth.

Company
Coventry-based Trinity offers cloud products and services through its desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) solutions.
