It has been working with businesses for over 10 years seeking to deliver long-lasting, cost-effective change across a wide range of areas, from financial reporting and process design to digital innovation. Their ethos is to seek to work as a partner with its clients in order to develop sustainable solutions and improve the skills of its clients’ teams. In the year to 30 October 2019, Ameo reported a revenue of £6.9m and pre-tax profits of £1m.

About the deal

The Panoply is buying Ameo for an effective purchase price of £7m to be satisfied through a  combination of cash and shares, and the total consideration capped at £9.2m. Ameo will sit neatly alongside the capabilities embedded in two of The Panoply’s other public sector-focused acquisitions, Notbinary and FutureGov.
