dbfb Acquires Totally Converged Solutions

Welcoming TC Solutions to the dbfb team

We’re excited to share some big news: we’ve completed the acquisition of Milton Keynes-based Totally Converged Solutions (TC Solutions). This move expands our regional footprint, strengthens our customer relationships, and brings together two like-minded teams with a shared focus on service.

Why TC Solutions?

When we set out with our advisers at Evolution Capital to find a business that aligned with our values and long-term vision, TC Solutions stood out straight away. With strong customer loyalty, a hands-on service ethos, and a proven track record in mobile, telephony and connectivity, they felt like a natural fit.

“We’ve grown TC Solutions from the ground up, and after 17 years we were ready to look at the next step. We’re both staying on – and that matters. We’ve worked with many of our customers since day one, so getting the transition right is a top priority.

What stood out about Simon and the dbfb team was their personal, customer-focused approach. Our customers will be in good hands.

We’re excited to get to know the team and bring the best of both businesses together.”

— Andrew Thomas, Director, TC Solutions

Founders Simon Dixon and Andrew Thomas will remain in the business, ensuring a smooth transition and ongoing continuity for customers.

What does this mean for all our customers?

This is about building on what we all do best. TC Solutions brings extra depth to our customer-first model, reinforcing the principles we’ve always stood by:

• Relationships that last – Their long-standing partnerships mirror our own approach to support and service.

• Shared values – A commitment to responsiveness, reliability, and real human support.

• Stronger presence – A deeper local connection to the Milton Keynes business community.

No changes to contracts or support. Just the same reliable service, with a few more friendly faces behind the scenes.

Growing our Milton Keynes footprint

Milton Keynes is one of the UK’s fastest-growing cities and a key part of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc. While we’ve served businesses in the area for years, this acquisition brings us even closer to the heart of the region’s growth.

“Working with Simon and the dbfb team has been a fantastic example of how a clear M&A strategy can be successfully implemented. From initiating a long-term relationship with a leading funder in Santander, to identifying a target that fits dbfb’s growth ambitions, Evolution Capital’s collaborative approach has delivered a great outcome for both buyer and seller.

“It’s been a pleasure to work so well as a team – and we look forward to supporting dbfb in its continued growth.

— Charlie Futcher, Transaction Manager, Evolution Capital

More progress, same principles

Over the past year we’ve expanded our team, grown our IT and bulk text messaging services, and delivered double-digit revenue growth. Welcoming TC Solutions is the next step – and we’re continuing to explore opportunities that help us deliver more for customers.

“We’ve grown significantly over the past year – welcoming new talent into the business and deepening our capabilities in IT and bulk text messaging,” said Simon Pickering, Managing Director at dbfb. “It’s a fast-moving market, and businesses like TC Solutions, that lead with service and innovation, continue to thrive. For Simon and Andy, this was a natural next step – and with them staying on, we’re even better placed to help all our customers adapt, grow and benefit more from their technology.

“Ultimately, this deal is about strengthening what we do best – delivering performance and productivity for our customers.”

— Simon Pickering, Managing Director, dbfb

We’re looking forward to the next chapter—and we’re glad to be doing it with people who care about customers as much as we do.
