Fonebak completes CRC takeover and promotes its boss

Mobile telecommunications lifecycle service provider Fonebak has completed its acquisition of Oxfordshire-headquartered, pan-European services organisation CRC and former CRC chief executive officer Gary Stokes has taken up the same CEO role within the expanded organisation.

‘This transaction advances Fonebak's strategy of applying its full lifecycle services proposition to a wider range of technology and communications products,’ said Fonebak chairman, Gordon Shields.  ‘We believe that the acquisition provides the opportunity to introduce Fonebak's business model to CRC's client base, creates scale for the Fonebak business, and brings the additional geographical footprint necessary to achieve Fonebak's ambition of a fully pan-European offering of its services,’ he added.
