Exacta Group assesses strategic options; external investment, acquisitions possible – CEO
Exacta Group, a UK-based technology company, is working with Grant Thornton on strategic options including external fundraising and acquisitions, Group CEO David Osmond said.
Exacta Group has spent the past nine months making itself “investment ready,” he said. This includes taking investment from the financial community and strategic investors, he added.
Fresh funds could support inorganic expansion, Osmond said. He declined to elaborate on a stake on offer for potential investors, the type of acquisitions that could be pursued or when the strategic option process would conclude. To date, all expansion has been self-funded, he noted.
Exacta Group recorded revenues of GBP 22.3m for the year ended December 2025, and the company is on course to reach approximately GBP 30m in revenues this year, Osmond said.
Exacta Group’s double-digit growth history, led by its ever-deepening relationship with its more than 50-strong customer base and development of new associations with potential clients throughout the UK, Europe and the US, prompted management to review options, Osmond said.
The company expects to continue developing in this manner organically, however, bringing in an investor and/or pursuing acquisitions for the first time in its history would help accelerate growth, he said.
While the immediate focus is on growing its presence in existing key geographies, Exacta plans to review the onboarding of Asia-located customers from 2027, Osmond said, describing the region as offering “a lot of growth opportunities.”
Headquartered in Bristol, Exacta Group is the holding company of two technology brands; Exacta Technologies, a designer and builder of customised enterprise hardware servers for global software companies, and Blackcore Technologies, a provider of high-speed servers built for the financial trading industry.
Exacta Group was founded by Group Chair Nick Rogers in 2001, who holds more than 75% of its shares, according to Companies House data. Exacta Group has a headcount of around 80 staff, with this figure expected to reach closer to 90 before the end of 2026, Osmond said.
Osmond was formally appointed as group CEO in February this year having been a key member of the group leadership team since 2019, most recently as Group Managing Director.
