We're excited to announce that Celerity has acquired Chester-based Chilli IT. The deal strengthens the business’ technical expertise and unlocks growth opportunities through complementary services and expansion into new sectors such as logistics and retail.

Founded in 2002, Celerity has established itself as a market leader in delivering intelligent cybersecurity, data protection and data visualisation services for companies. The acquisition takes the combined business turnover to more than £40 million and a team of 95.

In 2021, Celerity attracted a £15 million investment from BGF, one of the largest and most experienced growth capital investors in the UK and Ireland. This is the first transaction for Celerity as the business embarks on an acquisition trail to supercharge future growth.

Chilli is an IBM Gold Partner and managed service provider. Its team of 17 will maintain their roles and continue to operate from a base in Chester with the Chilli brand being retained.
