What Redsquid does

Redsquid Communications is a UK-based Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) and IT managed services company headquartered in Borehamwood, founded in 2006. The company delivers an integrated technology platform spanning cybersecurity (including a proprietary 24/7 Managed SOC and Managed Detection and Response service powered by the ASPECT automation platform acquired from Cyberseer in November 2025), IT managed services, cloud (Microsoft Azure), Microsoft 365 and Copilot deployment, data connectivity (SD-WAN, leased lines, MPLS, broadband), unified communications (VoIP, Teams voice, contact centre via Cirrus), and IoT solutions (smart building, asset tracking, telematics, temperature monitoring). Its customer base spans multiple verticals including education (170+ schools via the Partnership Education acquisition in April 2026), financial services, pharmaceutical, construction, film and production, and NHS/public sector organisations.

Redsquid operates a sales-led go-to-market with dedicated field sales teams targeting UK enterprise and mid-market customers, supported by a Microsoft partnership and Gamma Gold partner status for voice/communications. The company runs an aggressive acquisition-led growth strategy, completing 16 acquisitions through April 2026 (including 6 in 2025), which has expanded its geographic footprint into Scotland and its vertical reach, particularly into education. Revenue is predominantly recurring through subscription-based managed services contracts, complemented by hardware sales and professional services.

The company is privately held, founder-led by CEO Sohin Raithatha, and self-funded or debt-funded through facilities such as a £750,000 Santander UK loan (2021) and ThinCats transitional capital for M&A activity. It holds B Corp certification, has been named MSP of the Year at the Comms National Awards every year from 2021 to 2024, and operates as a CO2-neutral business. In April 2026, Dave McGinn was appointed Chairman to support the next phase of growth as the platform scales.
