John Calland and Andre Ducrot
IT platform and managed service providers Cloudland and TMG have announced a merger.
The brands will continue to operate under their established names, but the collaboration between is designed to amplify services across New Zealand and Australia, especially in the healthcare and professional services sectors.
Cloudland chief John Calland said clients would benefit from the complementary strengths of the two providers.
“TMG’s impressive track record within the primary healthcare market complements our strengths, ensuring our clients benefit from an even wider spectrum of expertise.
TMG chief Andre Ducrot saw the merger as a natural evolution for his company.
“We have a lot of similarities, including our comparable size, strong local community roots, and shareholders with considerable experience working in the primary healthcare sector. The two companies will complement one another well, and our customers will benefit as a consequence.”
The merger makes Ducrot and the existing Cloudland directors shareholders in the new entity, TMG Cloudland Group Limited. Oriens Capital, a Tauranga-based investment group, has also joined as a shareholder.
Community Living Trust, a Waikato-based provider of disability support services and a Cloudland shareholder, will continue as a shareholder in the merged entity and the merged companies will retain their regional offices in Hamilton, Whangarei, and Christchurch.
