BDR Group

What BDR Group does

BDR Group is a UK-based managed IT and telecoms services provider headquartered in Stratford-upon-Avon, founded in 1991 by Bahman Rahimi (who remains CEO) and operating with 101-250 employees. The company serves more than 4,000 customers spanning enterprise (NHS, Boeing, Primark, Costco, Allianz), public sector (Kent County Council), and education (Oxford University, Leicester University), alongside mid-market and SMB clients across all industries, positioning itself as 'small enough to care, big enough to cope.' Its service portfolio covers Managed IT Services, VoIP/hosted communications (with AudPro messaging-on-hold), cybersecurity (Sophos, WatchGuard, Kaspersky), connectivity and WiFi (via EE, BT, BT Wholesale), IT hardware procurement (Dell, Lenovo, HP), mobile phones, fire and security systems (Paxton-powered access control, CCTV, intruder alarms, ANPR), energy and property solutions, and SAP Business One ERP implementation.

The underlying delivery model is multi-vendor integration rather than proprietary technology: BDR delivers 24/7 in-house engineering support, maintains tier-1 partnerships with IBM, Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, Cisco, HP, Citrix, and others, and has extended its capabilities through three acquisitions — Maple Computing (2021, IBM storage/security/AI/cloud), MBA IT (2024, enterprise IT), and Eloquent Technologies (2025). The company operates a sales-led go-to-market combining a UK inside-sales team (0800 975 3000 with 8-second average wait time) with enterprise field sales supported by a dedicated Account Manager programme, an online customer hub for bill management, and a quote-based pricing model across all services.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly recurring: Managed IT, VoIP, connectivity, cybersecurity, and fire/security monitoring run on subscription contracts, supplemented by one-time hardware sales (IT equipment, mobile devices, physical security hardware), professional services for SAP and energy advisory, and installation/transaction revenue. The company is privately held under the legal entity BDR Group Holdings Ltd, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or public listing; group entities have committed to Net Zero by 2050 as outlined in the Carbon Reduction Plan 2024. No revenue, ARR, or EBITDA figures are publicly disclosed.
