Bechtle has acquired Manchester-based Bespoke XYZ and its subsidiary Savvy, motivated by a desire to bolster its position around artificial intelligence (AI), with the terms of the deal not disclosed. The deal marks the sixth acquisition the service provider has sealed in the UK and Ireland, with the majority of those coming in the past four years. Bespoke XYZ, which has been operating since 2013, specialises in Microsoft AI and data analytics, while its Savvy subsidiary is a managed services provider (MSP) that targets the education sector and also provides AI expertise. The deal will add 52 staff, including an offshore delivery operation in the Philippines, and a business that generated revenues of £3.5m in the 2025/26 financial year. The two firms have been working on projects together for a couple of years, and the plan is initially to run Bespoke as an independent business under the watch of Bechtle UK. James Napp, regional director UK&I at Bechtle, said the acquisition enables Bechtle to provide a clear path to AI for customers, and Bespoke will form the foundation of Bechtle’s AI practice. Bespoke founders Sam Bright and Jordan Brookes will remain with the business and continue to lead the operation.
