Clear Telecom Acquisition Strengthens Flotek's London Presence

Jamie Hibbard
Head of Marketing

We’re delighted to welcome long-established Clear Telecom to Flotek Group.

Clear Telecom, an established technology provider with over 23 years’ experience supporting SMEs across the region, joins multi-award-winning UK managed technology partner, Flotek Group.

Founded in 2003, Clear Telecom has built long-standing partner relationships through its delivery of IT, communications, connectivity, and related technology services. Its services include IT support, hosted VoIP, SIP trunks, Microsoft Teams telephony, business phone systems, mobile, broadband, and leased lines.

The acquisition strengthens Flotek’s managed IT presence across Essex and London, while providing Clear Telecom’s existing partners with access to an expanded range of managed IT, Microsoft cloud, cyber security, and communications services.

Clear Telecom will continue to operate from its Essex base, maintaining an established presence for partners across the region and into London. The Clear Telecom team will become part of Flotek Group, continuing to provide the technical knowledge, familiarity, and responsive support partners value.

Co-owners Barbara and John Malone will support the integration process, working alongside Flotek to ensure a smooth transition for Clear Telecom’s partners.

The acquisition is Flotek Group’s 16th since the business was founded in 2022 and forms part of its continued strategy to establish strong regional teams capable of delivering joined-up technology services across the UK. It follows Flotek being ranked number one in IT Channel Oxygen’s 2026 Fast-Growth 50, recognising it as the fastest-growing MSP in the UK.

Building on more than 20 years of local service

Clear Telecom has spent more than two decades helping businesses manage their IT, communications, and connectivity through practical advice, tailored solutions, and personal support.

Becoming part of Flotek will allow the business to build on those foundations, supported by greater investment in people, systems, products, and technical resources.

Existing Clear Telecom services will continue without immediate change. Integration will take place through a phased approach designed to maintain service continuity and ensure that partners are kept informed of any future operational or brand changes.

Alongside Clear Telecom’s existing IT, communications, and connectivity expertise, partners will have the option to access Flotek’s broader portfolio of managed IT support, Microsoft 365 and Azure, cyber security, cloud telephony, and technology consultancy.

The combined proposition reflects the way managed IT, cyber security, and communications are increasingly coming together within modern businesses. It will allow organisations to bring more of their essential business technology together under one provider, simplifying the process and creating a more consistent approach to support, security, and future planning.

“Clear Telecom has built a strong and trusted technology business over more than 20 years, with established IT and communications capabilities and long-standing relationships across Essex. This acquisition is an important step in expanding our managed IT presence across Essex and the wider South East. Clear Telecom already supports partners across IT, communications, and connectivity. Becoming part of Flotek will allow us to invest further in those capabilities and provide partners with access to the broader resources of the Group. Our immediate priority is to protect the relationships and service that Clear Telecom’s partners already value.”

Jay Ball, CEO, Flotek Group
“Choosing the right future for Clear Telecom was extremely important to us. We wanted to find a business that respected what we’ve built, shared our commitment to partners, and could provide the investment and expertise needed for the next stage of its development. We know that IT and communications are increasingly coming together, and that more businesses want to bring their technology services under one provider. Joining Flotek will allow us to respond to that shift and better support our partners as their needs continue to evolve.”
