Flomatik specialise in helping IT, telecoms, broadcast and broadband operators exploit their next generation networks through a broad range of professional services including technical consulting, project delivery and outsourcing.

BCi’s Director of Operations, Mark Hooper commented:
“Flomatik and BCi operate in the same industry sectors and geographies both in the UK and across Northern Europe and our expertise and skills are complementary.
