A Staffordshire IT provider has expanded its portfolio by joining forces with another IT company.
Stafford-based EPX Technical Services has acquired PC Net Solutions, which has offices in Shrewsbury and works with clients across Shropshire.
EPX has been established for over 15 years and works with small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) across all industry sectors throughout Staffordshire and the Midlands.
The company says its newly established partnership with PC Net Solutions brings "many synergies through the use of existing skills, resources and products and facilitates the exchange of knowledge, training, and development opportunities."

Daniel Ellis, CEO of EPX, said: "We have known Katy and the PC Net team for several years and are incredibly excited to welcome them to our team.
"The support team is now much larger, with a wealth of experience in security and cloud technology, plus a highly professional approach to customer success."
The deal – which brings total headcount to 25 staff – will see PC Net, which was launched in 1998, begin trading as EPX over time.
PC Net managing director, Katy Jones, said: "PC Net and EPX share a common goal and, through this exciting collaboration, both our team and the team at EPX will have opportunities to reach out to more businesses and continue offering top quality IT solutions and support.
"We have known the guys at EPX and have been exchanging knowledge with them for quite a while. Our customer care is so important, and it is fantastic to connect with an IT support company as reactive and proactive as EPX are.
"We are confident that our customers will be happy with the increased range of experience and skills we can offer together."
