Durham-based hospitality provider Ramside Estates, which operates a number of hotels and bars across North East England, has acquired the little-known but Newcastle-based broadband and phone provider Select Telecom for an undisclosed sum.
The ISP, which doesn’t appear to have updated its website or social media profile for years (they’re still using unsecured HTTP too), is said to have long provided Ramside Estates with connectivity services (support, Wi-Fi, payment technology etc.) across the group’s operations.
According to the Northern Echo, the acquisition is intended to help protect Ramside’s critical infrastructure and give the business greater control over its future development. Under the new ownership, Select Telecom will continue to operate and serve its existing customer base, as well as new customers.
