“ My business partner and I owned a software company specializing in warehouse management solutions . Between 2008 and 2009 , during the financial crisis , we faced a shortage of work opportunities but didn ’ t want to lay off our loyal employees . Instead , we redirected our attention to the hardware aspect of our business . This shift was prompted by the observation that many individuals were discarding their equipment prematurely . Our vision was to extend the lifecycle of hardware and assist clients in selecting the appropriate solutions from the start . This message resonated strongly in a climate where companies had slashed their capital expenditure budgets . Thus , Renovotec was started in September 2009 with this ethos at its core and grew rapidly despite initial resistance from manufacturing partners . Through a long period of acquisitions , we introduced new manufacturers to the British market , became the leading supplier for LXE ( now a Honeywell business ) in the north of the country and formed meaningful partnerships with many different businesses . Most notably , we acquired Spirit Data Capture in 2019 , enabling us to expand into field services . Seeking investment partners , we decided on a company called Röko AB in Sweden in March 2021 . Since then , we have made further acquisitions which have enabled us to extend our reach into retail and hospitality ,” he begins .
