Building on success

Our appearance on this list is testament to the specialist expertise that the company has built up within the highly regulated financial services sector. As well as providing managed IT services, we also support many clients within the financial services and insurance sector with identity, cyber security, data analytics, and cloud transformation services.

These range from large, global blue-chip organisations to small and medium sized corporations. The Kocho team has built a particular niche within Private Equity and offers a specialist ‘white -glove’ support service to leading Private Equity companies including Business Growth Fund (BGF), TDR Capital, and Permira.

A security focused MSP

Following the acquisition of leading UK Identity and Cyber Security specialist, ThirdSpace, by TiG in March 2021, both companies rebranded to Kocho in April as part of an ambitious growth plan, which is built on placing cyber security at the heart of all its managed services and digital transformation projects.

Kocho’s clients now benefit from a combination of Microsoft cloud technology, world-class identity, cyber security, and transformation together with managed services, which includes a rapidly growing Security Operations Centre (SOC).

Kocho also recently appointed a new Director of Managed Services as part of its commitment to deliver service excellence to clients as it pursues its ambitious growth strategy.
