Distology is entering its next phase of growth following investment from Foresight Group, which has acquired the specialist cybersecurity value-added distributor from NorthEdge.
NorthEdge invested in Distology in February 2021, backing founder and CEO Hayley Roberts and her management team in their first institutional investment to broaden the vendor portfolio, deepen technical capability and scale the business internationally.
Over the two years to FY26, Distology delivered a 48% EBITDA CAGR, expanded and diversified its vendor portfolio, increased its services capability following the acquisition of Squareball in 2022, and strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of a Chief Technical Officer and a Chief Commercial Officer.
Foresight’s investment will enable Distology to accelerate the next phase of its growth journey, supporting continued investment in people, technology and strategic initiatives while expanding the company’s reach across the UK and Europe.
Roberts said: “NorthEdge has been a fantastic partner over the past five years. They believed in us at a pivotal moment, backed our vision and helped us grow across the UK and Europe, while always supporting the culture and people that make Distology what it is today. This investment means we can be much more ambitious with our growth plans, particularly across Europe, and gives us greater opportunity to pursue strategic acquisitions.
“Expanding across Europe is a major part of this next chapter. We’ll bring Distology’s value- add approach to our existing vendors in new markets, while also attracting new, high-growth cybersecurity vendors looking for a true value- added distributor with the expertise and scale to support them across Europe.”
